The Doon School

The Doon School is situated on Mall Road. It’s a well-known spot, and the address is pretty simple to remember. We have a lot of history tied to this location. The grounds are quite large, and there are plenty of trees that have been growing here since before any of the current staff started working. Walking down Mall Road, you can’t really miss the entrance. We have old stone buildings that require a lot of upkeep, but they have a certain character that you don’t find in newer constructions. The weather here changes the whole mood of the place; when it’s misty, the whole campus looks very different than it does on a clear sunny day. The students spend a lot of time outdoors moving between the different blocks. We have various halls for different subjects, and the library is usually the quietest spot on the whole property. Our daily routine is fairly set in stone. We wake up early, get through the lessons, and then there are activities in the afternoons. It’s a busy life for the boys who live here. The staff mostly lives on-site too, so it feels a bit like a small village where everyone knows what everyone else is doing. We don't use much technology for the sake of it; we prefer the traditional ways of teaching and running the place. It’s an honest way to live and work, focusing on the basics of education and community life.
