In an ideal world every school would provide a tailored education for each child. It's every parent’s dream. At the Hamilton School in Aberdeen it’s a reality. The Hamilton School has been tailor-making education for each and every one of its pupils for more than thirty years.
We aim to ensure that each pupil has the capacity and ability to live successfully in our uncertain world. With this in mind, school life is designed to be as rich as is possible.
More specifically, we aim to encourage hard work, take pride in achievement, to think independently, to face up to challenge, to accept responsibility and to develop wider skills and interests.
At the earliest stages in Nursery, Pre-School and Reception our practice coincides with the thinking of Maria Montessori an Italian pedagogist who was committed to the encouragement of opportunity for the successful development of each individual.
