Kilgraston School is an independent Roman Catholic boarding and day school for girls aged 2½–18 and day boys aged 2½–9. The school is centred upon a mansion house set in 72 acres (290,000 m2) of parkland, at Bridge of Earn, 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Perth and less than an hour’s drive from Edinburgh. The school has links with the boys' school Merchiston Castle School in Edinburgh and occasionally co-organises socials and functions together.
Kilgraston is organised into four schools: Nursery (ages 2–3 to 5), Preparatory (ages 5–13, up to 9 for boys), Senior School (ages 13–16) and Sixth Form. It is a member of the Girls' Schools Association.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
