Education
There are three primary schools located in Broughty Ferry. They are: Barnhill Primary School, Forthill Primary School and Eastern Primary School. Pupils living in the Barnhill Area will most likely go to Barnhill Primary School, pupils living in central Broughty Ferry will most likely go to Eastern Primary School and pupils living nearer Dundee will most likely go to Forthill Primary School. All three of these primary schools are feeder schools for Grove Academy.
Grove Academy (high school) has been rebuilt and opened in late 2009. It is currently one of the top secondary schools in Scotland. Eastern Primary School has moved into the old Grove building. Pupils who live in the Barnhill area used to get the option to attend the Angus school, Monifieth High School. As of 1 January 2009, the option for people living in the Barnhill area to attend Monifieth High School has been stopped. If any person living in the Barnhill area wishes to go to Monifieth High School, they must apply. Pupils that currently went to Monifieth High School and lived in the Barnhill area were not affected by these changes.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“Think of the importance of Friendship in the education of men.... It will make a man honest; it will make him a hero; it will make him a saint. It is the state of the just dealing with the just, the magnanimous with the magnanimous, the sincere with the sincere, man with man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
