As the world’s oldest co-educational day and boarding school, Dollar has served the educational needs of its pupils for over two centuries. The Care Inspectorate has described the school as having a ‘sector-leading’ standard of care. The inspiring 70 acre campus sits in the picturesque market town of Dollar, located at the foot of the Ochil Hills, and is home to around 1350 children aged 5-18.
Dollar is regarded as one of the top schools in the country, and we think you will struggle to find a school with a wider range of subjects and co-curricular activities. The suite of excellent facilities and welcoming community form the perfect learning environment for day pupils and boarders alike. This is a successful school filled with happy and very active children.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
Dollar is recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent schools and has a very sound reputation amongst the top universities. The school offers the widest range of academic subjects in Scotland and pupils consistently achieve some of the best results in the country.
HUGE CO-CURRICUALAR RANGE
This outstanding academic provision is complimented by over 120 co-curricular activities. Dollar is one of Scotland’s leading rugby and hockey playing schools, and has a growing reputation for cricket, tennis and golf, recently partnering with Gleneagles to offer an exceptional Golf Programme at their PGA Academy.
Music and Art are also very popular, with 14 different choirs and orchestras, a World Championship-winning Pipe Band and a superb art department with sector-leading fine art, photography, ceramics and fashion design provision. The Combined Cadet Force is one of the largest in the country, consistently winning national military skills, shooting and first aid competitions, and hundreds of pupils take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programme each year.
OPEN DAY 2023
The annual Open Day is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the school and will feature both an online and in-person element. Families can gather lots of information from senior staff via a series of zoom presentations on the evening of Thursday 7 September, before visiting the school for a tour on the morning of Saturday 9 September.
