Dollar

Dollar Academy was recently named 2025 European School of the year by Education Insider and The Care Inspectorate has described the school as having a ‘sector leading’ standard of care – this is a successful community filled with happy and very active children. Dollar is recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent schools and has a very strong reputation amongst the UK’s top universities. Students have also recently left for Harvard, Stanford, NYU and Columbia. The school offers a wide range of 34 academic subjects, complimented by 140 co-curricular activities. It has an excellent reputation for sport, music and art in particular, and has exceptional Golf Programme at Gleneagles.


Around 100 boys and girls live in four small family-style boarding houses located on Dollar’s stunning 70-acre campus at the foot of the Ochil Hills. Tutors help with homework and excellent social, sport and leisure facilities are available for pupils to use. One great advantage of boarding at Dollar is that there are several hundred day pupils living locally, so boarders have a wide circle of friends, both in and out of the boarding house. 

 

Dollar is situated between the university cities of St Andrews and Edinburgh. The school is just 45 minutes’ drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow International Airports, with direct flights each day to Dubai, Doha and across the globe.

We saw a caring, family ethos across the school and boarding houses. Children and young people feel safe and are very well looked after.
