Welcome to Glenalmond College - an inspirational environment for learning. The school has a strong academic focus within the framework of all-around education, and our full boarding environment benefits boarders and day pupils alike.
Glenalmond College is a co-educational full boarding and day school for boys and girls aged 12 to 18, situated on a 300-acre campus in the heart of the Perthshire countryside, just 8 miles from Perth and one hour from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
We hope that this website will provide all the information you need about our school. You will find details of our academic programs and exam results, information about our extra-curricular provision and the pastoral care we provide, and all the latest news from our pupils.
It is an exciting and restless place of learning that takes seriously the serious business of study, but it is also a place of activity, of warmth, and most importantly, of community.
Glenalmond is holding on to what is best from the past while equipping the pupils for tomorrow with a vibrant and modern education, shaped by the community in which the pupils and the teachers live, learn, and play.
A Glenalmond education is challengingly simple, and the aspiration for every pupil is to be decent, to have clear values, and have the courage to stand by them. The pupils have the best academic education they can so that they face the future with the greatest number of choices while experiencing a rich range of opportunities as these develop competence which, in turn, provide confidence.
A foundation of clear values, confidence is drawn from wide-ranging competence, and sharp minds able to synthesize, interpret and evaluate complex problems help young adults to respond with agility and lead in this ever-changing world.
The education we provide at Glenalmond extends far beyond the classroom, and our young people grow in all aspects of their lives. We strive to instill timeless qualities in our pupils while preparing them for life in modern society.
Glenalmond pupils are encouraged to develop a spirit of academic inquiry and an interest in learning for its own sake as well as to secure good examination grades. The William Bright Society at Glenalmond identifies, promotes, and develops academic excellence in all areas of the school. The school has a program of visiting lecturers throughout the year, and regular cultural and academic trips outside the school are organized to supplement classroom teaching.
