At Ardvreck, we aim to instil an ethos of kindness, friendship and respect along with pride, courage and resilience. Boarding at Ardvreck does not try to erode the love of family but quite the opposite as we believe that the education of an Ardvreck child is a partnership between the school and the parent. We are here to reinforce the sense of family all the while encouraging your children to be independent and learn to wear the mantle of responsibility as they develop.
We offer a variety of flexible boarding options to suit each family and child. Families can choose from full-boarding and flexi-boarding, while Ard Hoc boarding is available for Enid Blyton-esque sleepovers for when you need them.
All our boarders are together under one roof which enhances the Ardvreck Family atmosphere. The staffing in Dalvreck House mixes youth and experience, all our boarders benefit from having a plethora of well-trained safeguarding, attentive professionals to care for them.
Dalvreck House accommodates up to 70 boarders on any given night which creates a fun and buzzing atmosphere. We ensure that the boarding house and individual dormitories are homely and cosy, and are decorated with children’s personal effects.
With regular Exeat weekends, on average every two weeks, the children have an excellent balance between school and home life and are always able to communicate with family as often as they feel they need.
Boarding at Ardvreck School has become even more exciting as we have recently refurbished and rebranded the main school boarding house as Dalvreck House. The 19th century building has been interior designed with a contemporary feel to create our fresh, fun, familial and modern, yet traditional, boarding house filled with home comforts, taking into account your children’s suggestions and needs.
We see time as the most important currency for our boarders who are given the time to enjoy being children within our beautiful 40-acre estate and beyond into our extended “garden”, the foothills of the highlands. The boarders at Dalvreck benefit from our sector leading outdoor provision, together with the weekend and evening activities brim with fun and inspiration. These include movie nights, games, talks, walks, and thrilling adventures up trees or hills or down rivers, gorges or caves as well as making time for chatting and playing and enjoying their downtime. Why waste time in a car or on a bus coming to school when staying at Dalvreck with friends is such fun.
