Gordonstoun International Summer School
Description
We welcome boys and girls from over 35 nationalities and between the age 8-16 to enjoy a fabulous Scottish summer of learning, fun and friendship. Gordonstoun International Summer School has been operating for over 40 years and each year we welcome boys and girls from all over the world to enjoy a fantastic 3 weeks of education and fun. Many of the children come back for multiple years and each year we get wonderful feedback. My favourite quote from the 2015 courses was “Not 3 weeks in a lifetime, but a lifetime in 3 weeks”.
