The International Sustainability Diploma. Open to learners across Scotland and beyond, the Diploma will be piloted in a number of schools in the 2024/25 session ahead of a wider launch in 2025/26.
The Diploma programme offers a different style of learning and teaching, aligned with the recommendations of the Hayward Review (2023).

There is little doubt that 2024 is a momentous year for The High School of Glasgow as we celebrate our 900th anniversary.
The enduring spirit of the school can be seen through our evolution over the centuries: founded in 1124 at Glasgow Cathedral to teach young cathedral choristers to find their voice in praise of God, prior to developing as a Grammar School, first through the Church and then under the stewardship of the City Council until 1976, and since as the independent co-educational school we are today.
