ScotsX Core Teacher and Learning Designer

What is ScotsX?

ScotsX is a ‘school-within-a-school’ experience, redesigning learning together with a team of expert adults, without the fixed mindset of ‘what school should be’. Rigorously focused on personal, team and academic formation, boys will have the finest preparation for thriving at our Year 9 Glengarry campus, and in whatever pathways they choose beyond.

ScotsX personalises education to each boy’s strengths and needs, challenging him to grow and achieve. As part of our new Middle School, ScotsX takes the best of the traditions of The Scots College and levels it up with the best of innovative approaches to forming young men for success.
