The pursuit of excellence is fundamental to Glenalmond’s commitment to its pupils.
Dynamic teaching, informed by evidence and best practice, is the core of what we do. Our outstanding teaching staff, most of whom live on site, are dedicated to the pupils, and closely involved in life outside the classroom. This unique family community gives our pupils the freedom to grow, always supported by staff who know them well. We recognise all pupils are individuals and want every child to be confident they can, and will, achieve their goals.
Individual adjustments to the curriculum are made in light of Learning Support needs, following discussion with the Head of Learning Support.
The breadth of our curriculum is designed to prepare all our pupils for the challenges they will face as they grow and to give them the best possible foundation for the choices they will make in the future. All our teachers are subject experts, who work with House Staff and tutors to give all our pupils the very best start in their Glenalmond journey.
All pupils study the following subjects along with an extensive sports timetable.
From the Fourth Form onwards, our curriculum continues to offer breadth and depth, balancing a core of facilitating subjects with a variety of options to inform, challenge and ignite passions and make the most of developments in technology.
