History

Girvan Academy has long been a well established educational institution which can trace its origins back to the early part of the 1800s when there were two schools serving the Girvan community - the Burgh School and the Parish School which was also known as the Parochial or Grammar School at different times in its history. At some point around 1812, the two schools merged to form Girvan Higher Grade School which later became Girvan High School and to its present name of Girvan Academy.
The present building was completed in 1988.
