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”.

Which clan would you have joined? 🤩

Throughout GISS, students become part of one of the clans. This year, some of these clans were the Harris Hornets, Lewis Lions, Munro Monkeys, Douglas Dragons, Stewart Stags and Campbell Kelpies.

From friendly competitions to evening events, clan spirit plays a big part in the GISS experience and helps bring students together throughout the summer.
