School Open Day Saturday 19 September 2026

Our annual Junior & Senior School Open Day is the best way to experience the full breadth of life at Kelvinside Academy, with departments, subjects and co-curricular clubs all showcasing what pupils learn and enjoy each day. Throughout the year, we also host smaller, more intimate Open Mornings and Stay & Play events. At all of these events, you’ll meet our teachers and pupils, tour the school, and have the opportunity to speak with our team about the admissions process and beyond.

The KA Way

We all know by now that not all young people learn the same way. What’s already happening at Kelvinside Academy is an example of what can be possible when teaching is more centred around skills and practical experience.

Successful young adults need to be creative, collaborative researchers who can apply knowledge to solving problems that will increase business and commercial success.
Pupils need a flexible learning environment where they can develop the skills needed to become experts, innovators and entrepreneurs.

As the power, scope, and ease of using AI improves with every passing week; it would be educational malpractice to ignore what this means for your children and their employability. The world of work has changed immeasurably and schools must break the cycle of laser focus on grades and university alone and embrace diversification and new methods that better prepare young people for what comes next – be it industry, entrepreneurship, technology, sport, music, or wherever they excel.

What you can expect

At Kelvinside Academy, we are able to make progressive choices and pilot alternative methods that pave the way for true innovation in all forms of education. At our Open Mornings, you’ll get a unique opportunity to meet the staff and pupils that make KA a great place to grow and learn.
