Boarding at Scots
“Boarding has been a life-changing experience for me. I have made many new friends, learned to be independent and organised, and become part of a unique community.” James Kilby, Year 12 Scots boarder in Fairfax House
Boarding is a vital part of the Scots community for over a century. The College provides boarding in Sydney within a safe and nurturing environment where your son is supported to reach his full potential.
As a boarder, your son will stay at one of five boarding houses where he will be provided with strong pastoral care and individual attention, while experiencing the joys of being a part of his House ‘family’.
The benefits of boarding at Scots include:
Casual Boarding
Casual or temporary boarding places are offered at the College subject to availability. This is offered particularly to Senior students from Year 10 and onwards where day students become boarders for a term or Semester for focussed study and access to residential House tutors who are also qualified Senior School teachers.
For information please contact our Admissions team at admissions@scots.college.
International Students
International students are a valued part of our Scots community and have an incredible breadth of experience to share. Our international exchange programs are popular with students as they provide understanding of other cultures and a broader world view.
For overseas students, please download the 2020 Student Handbook for Full Fee Paying Overseas Students.
The Scots College curriculum is specifically designed for boys. Our state-of-the-art facilities and unique programs encourage boys to persevere, persist and achieve personal success.
You can rest assured your son will be well cared for as he joins his assigned boarding House family. Under the watchful eye of his teachers and House tutor he will be guided and supported every step of the way.
Scot boarders enjoy living in a secure, quiet study environment which is only ten minutes away from the centre of Bondi Junction.
