A leading boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 12-18 in Perthshire, Scotland
Taught by professional teachers in facilities that promote learning, Glenalmond pupils are encouraged to develop the ability to think for themselves and to give of their very best in a wide range of subjects.
The pursuit of excellence, with every child encouraged to make the most of their academic abilities, is fundamental to the school's commitment to its pupils and is demonstrated by the results achieved.
Last summer's exam results reflect Glenalmond's continuing academic success: 27% of A level candidates gained A grades; 74% of candidates in Maths gained A* and A grades; while 73% gained the new A* in Art. A large proportion of our 2010 leavers secured places at their first-choice universities, and each year a number of our pupils gain places at Oxford and Cambridge.
Academic life at Glenalmond has promoted a well-rounded education since 1847. Pupils receive an education tailored to their individual needs. Academic life is structured around the timetable of classes, but extends beyond the confines of the classroom. There are programmes to nurture the academically gifted and those with artistic or sporting talents.
Every pupil at Glenalmond is part of a House-based tutor group and sees their tutor three times each week. The academic tutor works closely with the pupil to support his or her progress, and has an overview of the pupil's academic performance across the subjects being studied.
