PREP SCHOOL
Why Gordonstoun Prep?
Prep
At Gordonstoun, you won’t find children sitting in classrooms all day. A walk to the coast is an opportunity to learn about weather patterns and follow directions. An afternoon in our woodland campus is a chance to understand nature’s cycles and work in a team. And while our children explore the world, they’re developing a deep love of learning.
Our founder, Dr Kurt Hahn, believed that young people flourish when their horizons are broadened alongside academics. So he set out to develop other qualities too. His intention was to prepare his students for exams, and for life.
Plus Est En Vous
The Gordonstoun approach combines inspiring classroom learning with an exciting and varied range of out of classroom experiences.
All students take part in our outdoor education and sail training programme, explore sports and the performing arts, and participate in one of the school’s nine services to the community.
Students live in a supportive community that is one third Scottish, one third from elsewhere in the UK and one third from around the world.
We are diverse in culture, faith, aptitude and background, and take pride in the understanding and richness this brings.

Our Location
Our location also sets us apart. You’ll find us in a safe, very beautiful, 200-acre woodland campus in the heart of Moray in the North of Scotland, just moments from the sea and hills.
Peaceful, yet accessible, with great international transport links, we are just 31 miles from Inverness and 65 miles from Aberdeen airport.
Gordonstoun is one of the UK’s last remaining fully boarding schools, with Prep for 4 -13 year olds and boarding from 8. We are dedicated to delivering an ethos which stretches, challenges, nurtures and develops every child, so they grow into all that they can be.
