Welcome to the High School of Dundee!

The High School of Dundee is one of Scotland’s leading independent schools and, dating from 1239, is among the oldest in the United Kingdom.

It is a fee-paying, co-educational day school offering top quality, inspiring education for pupils from the ages of 3-18. 

We believe that every child has individual talents and unique potential and our entire educational process is based on the understanding that children need to have their potential recognised and nurtured. With the help of a curriculum in which timetables are built around individual choices, a vast co-curriculum and extensive pastoral support, we help our pupils discover who they are, find their confidence and strengths and begin the journey to where they want to be.

In its 770-year history, the High School has established a thriving community of past and present pupils and their families, with strong links to the wider community across Dundee and Tayside. The Rector, Mrs Lise Hudson, took up the position in January 2020.
