Braeview Academy is a secondary school in Dundee, Scotland. Situated on top of a steep hill (brae), it was originally named Whitfield High School. It was damaged in a fire on 11 September 2018, which destroyed around half of the building.
In 2021, Dundee City Council decided to merge Braeview with the nearby Craigie High School with a new community campus on the site of the former St Saviour's High School which is to open in 2025.[3]
Houses
The school is divided into 3 main houses: McManus, Law and Discovery. Each house is served by a Depute Rector, and also House Captains which are chosen every year.
