The PYP is a contemporary approach to education that is delivered in schools around Australia and the world. It focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and as caring and informed global citizen. This programme ensures that our students are receiving an education that prepares them for success in a rapidly changing global environment.

The Scots School Albury places our young people at the centre of their educational experience by providing challenges and opportunities that enable them to flourish as individuals, with others, and within the broader community. Our foundation as a traditional, yet modern place of education ensures our students gain from our experience and history through innovative pedagogy inspired by best practice.
