Gordonstoun School is a co-educational independent school for boarding and day pupils in Moray, Scotland. It is in the north-west of Elgin.[1]

Admission is not just a matter of money. There is an interview and references and exam results are considered. It is one of the few full boarding schools in the United Kingdom today.[2]

It is famous as the secondary school which King Charles III went to as a teenager. His father, Prince Philip, went there as a teenager.
