We’re approaching our live Expo season and this year we’ve over 70 schools exhibiting with us at our events in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.
It’s giving me pause for thought. What does a boarding school look like in 2024? Just a generation or two ago it was more often the case that a school had boarders as a ‘side gig’ so to speak, a ‘school with boarding’.
Now we find that schools are truly boarding schools – schools that embrace their boarders, that grow their boarder numbers and schools that know the very essence of their culture and spirit begins in the boarding house.
The Scots College is one such School in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. With one in five of their students in Middle and Senior School being a boarder, they understand that their boarding community is vital to the pulse of the College.

Celebrating over 130 years of excellence in boys’ education
Scots: The finest preparation for life.
Boarding is a critical component of the mission of The Scots College. It is not an add-on component for us. Roughly one in five boys at our Middle School and Senior School are part of our Boarding community. Boarders are, and always have been, an important part of College life.
With dedicated staff, tailored educational programs and a location hub connected to all that Sydney has to offer, Scots is positioned as a world leader in boys’ education. Our commitment to providing a secure, fun and friendly environment for young men to flourish in, remains at the forefront of our ambition.
The College enjoys a long and close association with rural Australia. Our Boarding community is enriched by generations of families that have worked the land and entrusted their sons’ education to us.
Through adventure, curiosity, creativity and personal growth, Scots boys strive for excellence together.
The Future of Agriculture
The Scots College aims to ensure that all students have the opportunity to engage in learning experiences that reflect regional Australia, including exploring sustainable, and future focused, food and fibre production in a rapidly changing Agriculture industry, as well as equestrian training and competitions.
ScotsX: A School Within A School
