Scotch College, Perth

Scotch College is a leading progressive independent school catering for students in Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 in Perth, Western Australia. Housed on 22 hectares, Scotch weaves longstanding traditions with contemporary education to foster global citizens. We are well known for our incredible breadth of education and supportive community. At Scotch, school is the beginning of a lifelong journey. We emphasise skills development to produce engaged, collaborative and creative students who are instilled with the confidence, resilience and empathy to forge a path within the world to come. Scotch offers three unique pathways for senior students, including the ATAR and VET, both part of WACE, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma – a globally recognised curriculum. The renowned IB Diploma has seen Scotch students continue onto international universities, including Oxford University and Stanford University. Additionally, Scotch offers the IB Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes for our junior and middle students. Scotch's seamless integration of the IB curriculum makes us an ideal choice for families and students with a global focus. We are proud to have strong ties with our sister school Presbyterian Ladies' College. Together, we offer cross-campus academic courses and classes and combined co-curricular opportunities. Scotch is also a member of Round Square, connecting us with more than 200 schools across six continents and providing great opportunities for international exchanges. Scotch College is a member of the Uniting Church. Scotch College acknowledges the Wadjuk Noongar and Wilman Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which the College and our campuses stand. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge the Noongar people as the sovereign First Peoples of this place.
