The Scots School Preparatory

The Scots Preparatory School provides high-level care for each individual. Our small class sizes provide students with the greatest opportunity to achieve their potential in a nurturing environment which addresses the emotional, spiritual and mental development of each child.

It is our aim that Scots Preparatory School students feel empowered in their learning, encouraged to succeed and responsible for their actions.

We believe that the single most important factor in determining an individual's success is self esteem.

The Scots Preparatory School is committed to this, and the belief that children learn best in a vibrant, caring environment where they are happy and feel loved.

We encourage them to have concern for themselves, for others and the world they live in.

We want them to be confident that they can contribute, and as leaders, influence others for a common good.

We inspire them 'to be the best they can be.'

As a small school we are able to maintain small class sizes ensuring that children receive maximum individual attention and programs designed to meet their learning needs. Regular monitoring of student achievement is reported to parents and where necessary, shared goals set.

Being small also means enormous opportunity for students to experience, to grow, and to shine.

It means having a personal relationship with each and every staff member and making genuine friendships with girls and boys across all grades.

It means belonging to a strong school community working towards a common goal. Being small really does make a difference.

Children at the Scots Preparatory School look forward to many annual Special Events.

The Preparatory School students are involved in a wide range of co curricular activities utilising the extensive facilities available on the spacious K - 12 campus.
