Scotch College

Welcome to Scotch College, a prestigious private school for boys located in Swanbourne, Perth, Western Australia. With a rich history and a commitment to providing a top-quality education, Scotch College is a leading progressive institution that caters to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

Situated on 22 spacious hectares, our school combines longstanding traditions with contemporary education to foster global citizens. Our incredible breadth of education and supportive community are well-known throughout Perth.

At Scotch, we believe that school is just the beginning of a lifelong journey. We focus on developing essential skills to produce engaged, collaborative, and creative students who possess the confidence, resilience, and empathy to navigate the future world.

We understand that learning extends beyond academics. It encompasses a careful balance between students' intellectual, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual needs. The Scotch tradition of individuality, excellence, community, and respect is deeply ingrained in our students, forming the foundation of our College and shaping their future.

With a profound reputation as one of the best private all-boys schools in Perth, Scotch College offers three unique pathways for senior students: the ATAR and VET, both part of WACE, and the internationally recognized International Baccalaureate Diploma. Our IB Diploma program has seen Scotch students gain admission to prestigious universities around the world, including Oxford and Stanford. For our junior and middle students, we also offer the IB Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. This seamless integration of the IB curriculum makes Scotch an ideal choice for families and students with a global focus.

We are proud to have a strong partnership with our sister school, Presbyterian Ladies' College. Together, we provide cross-campus academic courses, combined co-curricular opportunities, and a supportive network. Additionally, as a member of Round Square, Scotch College is connected with over 200 schools across six continents, offering excellent opportunities for international exchanges.

Scotch College is affiliated with the Uniting Church, which was formed by the Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches in 1977. Guided by progressive Christian values, the Uniting Church plays a significant role in shaping the ethos of our College.

We invite you to visit our campus and witness the incredible breadth of education we offer. Located in the heart of Perth's sought-after western suburbs, our campus in Swanbourne is surrounded by beautiful greenery and is within walking distance to the Swan River and stunning beaches. Our state-of-the-art facilities are complemented by meticulously maintained historic grounds, creating a truly inspiring learning environment.

For students in Years 7 to 12, we also offer a boarding program. This program allows your son to develop a sense of belonging, become part of a local community, and create lifelong friendships.

Scotch College acknowledges and pays respect to the Wadjuk Noongar and Wilman Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which our College and campuses stand. We recognize the Noongar people as the First Peoples of this place and honor their Elders, both past and present.
