Scotch College is one of Australia's leading schools for boys. The School has been at the forefront of education since its foundation in 1897. Throughout its long history, the School has upheld a tradition of excellence that is reflected in a wide and progressive curriculum.
At Scotch College, learning is more than an academic focus; it is a total picture which provides a balance between a student's intellectual, physical, emotional, relational and spiritual needs.
Scotch's tradition of individuality, excellence, and community is a trademark of our students; it is the cornerstone on which our school was built and the heritage for its future. |

A Scotch education is an evolving process which stimulates the unique qualities and aptitudes of individual students. It provides a depth of curriculum and activities which recognize that no two boys are alike. The School's diverse academic, sports and creative programmes encourage each boy to explore a variety of options. Through this the boys discover innate abilities, learn teamwork, exercise initiative and, ultimately, find a productive place within the School community. These programmes also prepare boys for life beyond school, either within Australia or internationally. |
