After visiting ACG Strathallan we were confident it was the right choice.”
The Mills family value the supportive academic environment, and the strong holistic focus. They are delighted with the choice they’ve made and are confident of the benefits this educational opportunity will provide.
We warmly invite you to visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
