The Academy is a wonderful school with over four centuries of history behind it, but also one committed to being at the forefront of educational progress in the twenty-first century.

At the Academy, we take pride in the provision of high quality education. It is a central aim of the school that we work in partnership with parents, pupils and the community to ensure that education takes place in a stimulating, secure and caring environment.

In Kirkcudbright Academy, education is a careful blend of tradition and innovation. We hold firmly to those aspects of schooling that we believe are of fundamental importance – courtesy, self- discipline, uniform, homework, sporting and social activities. At the same time, we move forward in an innovative manner, providing the facilities and teaching the skills that will allow our youngsters to make good use of the technologies and opportunities that this rapidly developing world offers them.
