Pipeline Student Management System (SMS)
In 2010, Scots introduced Pipeline SMS (shifting away from its former system Scoogle), a set of dynamically controlled sites allowing parents to access resources and research materials online, on the college's latest twin ISDN connection.
Pipeline now also incorporates all day-to-day school administration functions, including rolls, detentions, homework merits and demerits, behavioural reports, school report releases, discipline records, subject selection, student timetables, assessment marks, attendance records and subject resources, allowing parents and teachers to communicate easily online and transfer documents (and information), and software not usually available at home. This network allow parents to securely gain access to school publications (such as The Flying Scotsman and The Clansman newsletter), now only available in electronic format; academic and pastoral reports; assessment marks; academic documentation; school news articles; and so forth.
As part of this shift towards electronic learning, Scots has digital projectors, speaker systems and DVD/VCR systems in the majority of its classrooms and halls, in order to better facilitate media presentations by staff and students.

“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
