International Students

Scots College welcomes applications from students from overseas. A number of international students are currently studying at Scots College.

International students participate in normal classes with the College also providing additional English language tuition if required.

Each international student will receive a comprehensive plan for their study abroad shortly after an application is received. This will outline everything involved in an English speaking, mainstream education at Scots College.

Once an international student commences with Scots College, a carefully planned programme is in place to ensure he receives comprehensive pastoral care. All students are placed in a House, or group. The House Dean monitors the academic and personal development of all students.

The College oversees all aspects of the student’s life. The Boarding House Matron, along with the Housemaster of the Boarding House, maintains a close interest in the students from overseas who are boarders.

The Directors of International Students deal with all major concerns relating to the students and the Headmaster maintains an overview at all times.
