Find out more about independent schools in Scotland
This page contains a searchable database of all independent schools in membership of SCIS. Using the drop down menu on this page, you can also search for schools geographically or by type of school.
If you're looking for a Junior or Senior school please note that 'all through' schools include both Junior and Senior departments, so you should also look at the 'all through' category.
The West of Scotland Independent Schools have come together under the banner of WOSIS to jointly promote their Open Days and Assessment Days, so we've provided a link to their website.
