Getting the best start for every child is really important to us. Discover more about the limitless opportunities available from Nursery to S6 at our next Open Morning on Friday, 8th November 2024.
Children at Robert Gordon’s College are encouraged to discover and explore a broad range of subjects and co-curricular programmes to help them find their niche and build a lifelong love for learning.
Mr Macpherson, Head of Robert Gordon’s College, shares: “What makes RGC stand out as one of Scotland’s best schools is that all our pupils get the attention and support they need to succeed at whatever they want to be good at. Everyone has the chance to pursue what excites them and be adventurous by trying something new. No one is overlooked, everyone matters. People are surprised that an independent school of our size can be so well attuned to our learners’ needs, emotionally, intellectually, and socially.
“We pride ourselves on offering the broadest range possible of academic subjects, co-curricular activities, and life-changing trips and experiences. What our pupils achieve is phenomenal because we encourage them to take on big challenges, and we support them as they reach for success. That builds confidence, resilience and a strong sense of identity. These are all things that we want our children to have in the 21st century.
“RGC has been around for almost three centuries and has a global alumni that connects us to exciting projects around the world. This means we have the capacity and ambition to create opportunities for our pupils that are uniquely inspiring. There really isn’t another school like us, anywhere.”
Children at Robert Gordon’s College are encouraged to expand their horizons with a strong support network for educational and career development. Extending beyond their school years, the values of a Robert Gordon’s education become an integral part of pupils who take them far into their future paths, supported by outstanding teachers and a global network of alumni.
The most recent leavers from the Class of 2024 are diving into a broad range of opportunities, exploring new and additional experiences after completing their final year of school education. Vera, who is continuing her language journey through a competitive scholarship at Shanghai Fudan University, says: “Learning Mandarin was a very important part of school for me and I feel lucky to have had it as an option up to Advanced Higher. This opportunity to study in Shanghai is so exciting as it will allow us to push ourselves and improve our language in a completely new world. I really want to thank Mrs Adam for her support with this; she gave up so many lunchtimes and time after school to help us study for the exam and prepare everything and I don’t think it would have been possible without her.”
Choosing the right school for your child has never been more important
Mrs Park, Admissions Manager, highlights: “Take the next step in making that journey for your child and register for our next open event. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore the campus, meet staff and pupils, and see for yourself how community is a special part of Robert Gordon’s College. It is a welcoming and exciting school where every child can be the best version of themselves in a truly inclusive and supportive environment.”
