What are the particular strengths of your school?
Fettes Prep is a kind school where all interests and skills are valued equally. Teaching does not simply focus on the acquisition of knowledge but on thinking skills and generating potentially life-long interest in a subject.
How do you equip a child for life in the 21st century?
The world is changing at a bewildering pace and young people will need skills such as creativity and critical thought to be successful. Excellent teachers encourage these as a matter of course.
