PLUS EST
EN VOUS
Gordonstoun, founded in 1934, is a philosophy of education in action. The extraordinary education we provide gives students the confidence to achieve the impossible.
Gordonstoun's motto 'plus est en vous', is the ethos at our core. We go out of our way to create opportunities for students to demonstrate - not only to others but to themselves - what they are capable of.
“The Gordonstoun community
is on active service for things
which are more important than
Gordonstoun.”
