Introduction

Kilgraston has an outstanding academic reputation. The girls have consistently achieved some of the best results in Scotland and topped the academic league in 2009 (Source: The Scotsman, BestSchools.co.uk).

We are keen to ensure that girls receive a broad and balanced education, and that they undertake a wide range of educational experiences aimed at enriching and extending their abilities and understanding. We hope that they will develop:

  • lively and enquiring minds, with the ability to think imaginatively and creatively
  • a breadth of knowledge
  • a flexible outlook
  • skills of innovation, enterprise and leadership
  • a thirst and capacity of life-long independent learning

There are many opportunities for enrichment; cross curricular links, educational visits both day and residential, cultural visits and field courses, in the UK and abroad.
