    As an IB World School, Scots offers a vibrant learning environment, encouraging excellence in every facet of each child’s education. At Scots, we create global citizens – who are equipped for life as balanced, compassionate, motivated, and socially aware young people.
    The Scots motto of 'Virtutem Paret Doctrina', translates as 'Let Education Make the All-Round Student' and emphasizes our commitment to holistic education and the development of well-rounded character.
    We strive to instill in each of our students a life-long commitment to learning and provide a nurturing environment in which students can achieve their academic, spiritual, physical, cultural, and social potential, for the greater good and in service to others. By providing our students with an array of opportunities inside and outside the classroom, we encourage them to not only explore and recognize the diversity of their talents and abilities but to develop essential leadership skills.
    Scots College has a proud 100-year history of educating young men. Today with our children destined for a workforce and future that is rapidly changing the Senior School is changing to co-education in Years 11 to 13 to provide all students with an education that equips them for their life after school.
    All students are provided with an environment that is dedicated to meeting their specific needs. We are fortunate at the College to have excellent and dedicated staff who work hard to support and encourage their students. The College is characterized by small class sizes, tutor groups, personalized pastoral care, a future focussed curriculum, and academic support. The school family is strong and works closely with parents to obtain the best outcomes for their child. We believe we enroll the family, not just the student, and work closely in partnership to obtain the best possible outcomes.
    At Scots College, we strive to help your child to be the best they can be. The knowledge they gain, the values they adopt and the friends they make during their school years will play an important role in shaping their future.
    The Scots College Prep School has specialist staff and shares a range of specialist facilities across the college, including its music studio, visual art & design studio, library, Bike track, science laboratories, a covered sports center, a lecture theatre, assembly hall, and Indoor gym. The school is fully networked, both cabled and wireless, with pods of laptops and iPads for students to use. All classrooms have a sound field system installed that creates an ideal listening environment for students.
    World-class education: “High-quality teaching, outstanding resources and a modern, internationally recognized curriculum provide the relationships, structure and positive learning environment needed for every student to develop into the all-round man.”
    Scots College Middle School is first and foremost a boys’ school ensuring that quality education is provided to meet the needs of boys and their learning styles. Quality in all that the boys do is expected in a progressive and innovative educational setting where competition and physicality are encouraged, excellence is achieved and success is rightly acknowledged.
    We are proud of the young individuals we develop during their time at the College. The IB Learner profile outlines some of the learner characteristics and this coupled with the College’s leadership program and spiritual heritage indicates our purpose in the development of citizenship. In short, the students of Scots are expected to give their best in all they do, have sound values, and put something back into their communities.
    The College focuses on the development of the individual and has structures where students are known and supported in achieving their goals. Success is celebrated and encouraged. Expectations are high and students excel in a wide variety of areas.
    As an independent Presbyterian Years 1 – 13 day and boarding school which offers both NCEA and International Baccalaureate, Scots is unique. Independent education values the individual and values choice. The International Baccalaureate qualification shows our commitment to the creation of global citizens.
    Students have access to a well-developed Future Pathways Programme (Careers). Incorporated into weekly tutorial time students develop skills to equip themselves with the tools and confidence to face a succession of jobs. In addition, they have access to online future planning tools, forum evenings, work experience options, and support towards post-secondary pathways.
    Students at Scots are supported by many excellent facilities and a dedicated staff. Based in the nation’s capital we have access to many amenities and opportunities that are not available elsewhere which enrich student experiences. We are a diverse College that welcomes students from around the globe, our international students also enrich our learning environment.
    The diversity of cultures, faiths, and experiences at the College enriches our learning environment. This benefits all students and is an important part of the Scots experience. We create global citizens – who are equipped for life as balanced, compassionate, motivated, and socially aware individuals.
    We understand that a successful transition to an internationally recognized university is the ultimate aim for many students. Small class sizes, dedicated teachers, outstanding facilities and individualized attention helps us to prepare students for a smooth pathway to tertiary education either in New Zealand or abroad. Our dual curriculum ensures students have a wide range of academic pathways.
