The Scots College
Academic excellence is critically important, and our record demonstrates our success. But Scots aims for an even higher goal. We prepare boys to succeed in a world that is constantly being reinvented.
Our deep understanding of how boys grow and learn is captured in our Brave Hearts Bold Minds philosophy. This means we support every boy, at every stage of development, to become a confident, well-grounded young man of integrity. They will become the fine young men of the next generation who will, in their turn, reinvent their world. This is why academic success alone does not prepare boys for the future. A strong sense of identity, values, and character is vital.
The College has intentionally chosen a path where active learning works with academic excellence. Our local, national and international programs, inspire our boys to become principled, compassionate and engaged citizens of their College, their community and their world.
This is The Scots Advantage.
The Scots College is a distinctive Australian school that defends the honourable traditions, adventures and learning of boys. We exist to inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they strive for excellence together. Scots has been raising fine young men since 1893 from Sydney, New South Wales and many different nations from around the world.
The Scots College has a commitment to inspire and extend the interests, talents and skills of boys. A wide range of Co-Curricular Programs that can be passionately pursued at every stage of the Scots journey.
These include Music, Drama, Dance, Cadets, Pipes and Drums, Community Service, Chess, Debating and Public Speaking, Photography, Film, Media and Audio Visual.
The Co-Curricular Program exposes boys to the concept of what it means to be a global citizen and creates opportunities for them to be active and engaged in the world.

Sport is synonymous with the Scots experience, encouraging boys to discover personal strength born of competition and camaraderie. Boys compete in a number of competitions, including the AAGPS (Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales).
The following sports are offered at the College:

Boarders have been a vital part of the Scots community for over a century.
Boarding at Scots, available from Year 5 onwards, offers high quality education in a safe and nurturing environment, where your son is supported to reach his full potential. As a boarder, your son will stay at one of our five Boarding Houses where he will be provided with strong pastoral care and individual attention while experiencing the joys of being a part of his House 'family'.

Pastoral Care features prominently in all aspects of College life and in the day-to-day experiences of each individual in our community. The Scots College has a strong pastoral care ethos and is committed to looking after the needs of boys and nurturing their growth and development within a safe and caring environment. Pastoral care and student welfare programs are whole-school in nature. The health, well-being and safety of students is measured and managed through a carefully planned T-12 pastoral care system and is embedded within the curriculum, the House system, the Tutor program, staff professional development and other key policies that guide procedures throughout the College.

“Scots offers something for everyone. Wherever your interests lie – whether it’s music or sailing, drama or volleyball, debating or rugby – Scots can bring you together with like-minded boys and enthusiastic teachers to follow your passion. The best part of my Scots experience was leading the Pipes and Drums as Pipe Major. During my time with the Pipes and Drums, we toured twice to Scotland, played in the World Piping Championships, won state and national competitions and learned how to work and play together as a tight-knit team.” Year 12 Student
