This joins together and integrates fully, in a consistent, co-ordinated and imaginative way, all areas of learning and teaching throughout the school. It interweaves our commitment to academic endeavour with our highly developed and supportive pastoral care system and a vast co-curriculum which offers genuine choice for every pupil.
Viewing each pupil as an individual we aim to identify and nurture their particular talents, and to encourage and help them to find their voice, while empowering them to take responsibility with confidence and resilience.
The High School of Dundee is a ‘family of learners’ which fosters a culture of mutual support, celebrates achievement in all aspects of learning and development and equips our young people to change the communities in which they live and work for the better.
Our pupils are positive realists who are intellectually inquisitive and confident to work with purpose and commitment to realise their potential.
Individual and collective well-being is at the heart of the School. This culture champions and celebrates difference and individuality as a means of enriching the community and puts the views and happiness of its pupils at the forefront. It is a community which delights in the success of others, acts with kindness at all times and values positive relationships and good humour as the basis for friendships for life.
Members of the High School of Dundee family value the unique education that the School provides. They promote and support their school, maintaining their connections and friendships and working together to enrich and develop the School moving forward.
The High School of Dundee is a charity, registered in Scotland under the following nomenclature: Corporation of The High School of Dundee (SC011522), High School of Dundee Foundation (SC030842) and High School of Dundee Scholarship Fund (SC011441)
