Our vision is singularly focused on the education nurture and development of fine Scots boys. The Scots College has nurtured generations of fine young men since it was established in 1893. We seek to inspire our students through the example set by generations of great men and Scots Old Boys who now lead learn and serve in the community. “Every day in a boy’s life should be part of an exciting adventure. He should be challenged and know the true joy of achieving worthy and ambitious goals through the efforts of the teams of which he is a valued member” –Dr Ian PM Lambert the Scots College Principal. Learning at Scots Scots boys learn in an atmosphere of excellence within a culture of high expectations where they can become creative confident and accomplished learners. The Brave Hearts Bold Minds educational philosophy provides learning experiences that are structured according to the needs of the boys rather than their age of year level. An innovative colourful and adventurous curriculum informed by Reggio Emilia principles awaits the youngest Scots boys in the Early Years and Early Learning Centres. As they progress to the Preparatory School little boys become ‘fine Scots boys’. They develop autonomy and the emphasis shifts to more scholarly ways of thinking. In the Senior School boys are challenged to develop strategies for solving problems. An extensive Honours program enables selected students to undertake extension and enrichment in a number of disciplines. At Scots teachers serve as classroom coaches to bring out students’ best performance and help them kick their academic goals. The Thinking Sportsman model focuses on learning in teams and encourages boys to be responsible for their own learning. Teachers encourage a spirit of willingness and focus on building a culture of empowerment in the classroom in which boys can thrive. Scots boys graduate as fine young men with courage and conviction in the world who will lead learn and serve in the community.
