Gordonstoun International Summer School

Gordonstoun International Summer School We welcome children aged 8–16 from all over the world. We hope this page gives you a feel for GISS. https://www.instagram.com/gordonstounintsummerschool/

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. A favourite quote from a former student, that sums the experience up beautifully, is “Not 3 weeks in a lifetime, but a lifetime in 3 weeks”.

The most memorable parts of GISS aren't found in a classroom or activity programme. They are in the friendships formed between students from different countries, cultures and backgrounds 💫

Still missing ? We are already planning next year’s adventures! For more on all that is the see - or have a scroll back to see some of the excitements just passed! Is it too early to start planning next summer? Absolutely not!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in this year’s
International Summer School at . It perfectly marked fifty years of GISS, full of adventure, learning, friendship and fun - thanks to the staff who made it possible, across the board and in every capacity, and, more than anything, to both the students who attended from across the globe, and to their parents and guardians who came along. Thank you! It was a wonderful month, and we can’t wait for GISS27!

It’s hard to believe that is so nearly over! A disco on the south lawn was a chance for everyone to unwind after a busy day of interclan competition and the performing arts showcase - and before the excitements of today!
