Set in the heart of Dundee, we aim to bring out the very best in each and every child that steps through our doors.
With its eight imposing pillars and an abundance of gritty grey, The High School of Dundee stands rock-solid in the heart of the city. A constant in an ever-changing world.
It is not some gated, idyll of a school; where pupils are cosseted and hidden from the realities of life.
It is just an iron railing’s width away from the real world. And it is this connectedness that helps to create fully rounded – and grounded – pupils.
Pupils who are nurtured from an early age and thrive in a learning environment, where pastoral care is just as important as outstanding exam results.
Pupils who are better-equipped socially, better-connected to the community, to their peers, and to the High School family: a family that looks out for each other.
In turn, this helps pupils learn to connect with themselves. Find out who they are. Find confidence. Find their strengths. Find their place – and where they want to be.
Our pupils not only leave with outstanding skills and exam results
but with a greater understanding of themselves and others. And with
a preparedness and respect for the real world.
It’s no secret that if you nurture individual talent with a wide range of opportunities and a great learning environment your child will grow in confidence and achieve success.
Our exam results are consistently among the top ten in the country but our focus is on ensuring every pupil achieves his or her full potential, wherever their talents lie.
