Übersicht
Gordonstoun offers an unforgettable summer experience with a two‑week Junior Programme (ages 8–11) and a three‑week Senior Programme (ages 11–16).
Each programme blends inspiring study choices with an diverse mix of sport, drama, design, creative arts, cultural trips and relaxed social time — all set on our safe, stunning 200‑acre woodland campus by the sea.
A standout highlight is our unique adventure residential - Junior students head to our Gordonstoun Adventure Campus in the Cairngorm mountains, while seniors explore the breathtaking West Coast of Scotland, two of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.
Additionally, Gordonstoun recognises the sea as a unique classroom for character education. Our senior students will enjoy three days living on a tall ship with an experienced crew, sailing off the beautiful Scottish coast. Our junior students will enjoy sailing smaller ships on our stunning Scottish lochs.
Our courses welcome both native English speakers and those learning English as a foreign language. Parents regularly tell us they’re amazed by the rapid growth in confidence, maturity and skills their children show — and the strong, lasting friendships they form in just a few short weeks.
