Famous for educating generations of the British Royal Family — including HM King Charles III and the late HRH Prince Philip — Gordonstoun is bringing its world-leading philosophy abroad. While the permanent boarding campus in Wakayama is scheduled to open in summer 2027, the school will first debut an immersive summer programme focused on real-world leadership.
A New Chapter in Global Education
Founded in 1934, Gordonstoun is set to apply its signature motto, "Plus est en vous" ("There is more in you"), in an international setting. The "Impact Challenge Summer Programme" moves beyond traditional classroom learning, requiring students to engage with humanitarian and environmental challenges to develop resilience and a sense of service.
Programme Highlights
Title: Impact Challenge Summer 2026
Dates: 2-7 August 2026 and 15-20 August 2026 (2 sessions: 5 nights and 6 days)
Location: Wakayama, Japan
Eligibility: Students aged 10-14
Core Tracks:
-Global Challenge Engagement: Developing strategies for sustainable economic resilience for Himalayan communities.
-Environmental Action: Addressing marine plastic issues around Tomogashima Island.
-Field Implementation: A selected group will travel to Nepal to observe implementation.
Designed by international humanitarian Linda Cruse, whose leadership has influenced global education and corporate engagement through her Race4Good (R), this programme reflects her belief in individual-led change. As the new Director of Co-Curricular at Gordonstoun Japan, Linda brings this concept to life this summer in Wakayama.
Message from Natasha Dangerfield, Founding Principal
"As Gordonstoun takes this historic step beyond the UK, we are committed to redefining the purpose of education. This programme is designed to cultivate responsibility and global awareness, bringing the spirit of our Scottish heritage to the unique landscape of Wakayama."
