Dollar Academy is a 5–18 private co-educational day and boarding school for boys and girls in Scotland.
The open campus occupies a 70-acre (28-hectare) site in the centre of Dollar, Clackmannanshire, at the foot of the Ochil Hills.
In 2019, in order to understand the extent of John McNabb’s involvement in the slave trade, research was commissioned in collaboration with external advisors.
[4] McNabb bequeathed part of his fortune – £65,000, equivalent to £7,330,606 in 2023 – to provide "a charity or school for the poor of the parish of Dollar where I was born".
[8] In 2024, Dollar Academy was awarded The Sunday Times "Scottish Independent School of the Year".
[1] As of 2020, there are over 1,200 pupils at Dollar Academy,[9] making it the sixth largest independent school in Scotland.
Day pupils are usually from the village of Dollar or the surrounding counties of Clackmannanshire, Stirlingshire, Perth and Kinross, and Fife.
Internationalists' Award ties are presented to pupils, prep, junior, and senior, who have represented their country in sporting or cultural activities.
