Strathallan is one of Scotland's leading independent co-educational boarding and day schools. Set in 150 acres of rural Perthshire, it is 'home' for 500 pupils ages 10-18 during term time.
The junior house, Riley, takes boys and girls from 10-13. From here, pupils move into the senior houses where they have their own single study bedroom after the first senior year.
Strathallan has a track record of academic success and tailors the timetable to suit the needs of particular year groups. The 1997 A Level pass rate was 99.4%. The school offers the option of Scottish Highers exams where the pass rate at 87% rose for the fourth year in a row with 24% scoring A grades. At GCSE the pass rate was 90% with 37% of pupils gaining straight A* or A grades.
Strathallan's unrivalled investment programme has resulted in superb facilities. It has one of the most advanced CDT centres in the country, extensive computer facilities, a theatre, new biology laboratories and an astroturf pitch. During the past academic year, a new medical centre has been opened as well as a new sixth form centre.
The facilities of the music department have doubled in size. Tuition is available in almost any musical instrument and the school also has its own pipe band.
The art department offers instruction in three disciplines - painting, printwork and ceramics. A number of pupils have received external awards and work is regularly exhibited.
Outside the classroom the achievements of the pupils are equally impressive and the school offers a wide range of sporting and extra-curricular activities.
Above all, Strathallan is a friendly, caring community with staff dedicated to providing an opportunity for every pupil to excel.
Strathallan is within easy reach of both Edinburgh and Glasgow international airports - both within one hour's drive. Perth railways station is 10 minutes away with regular services throughout Scotland and England.
