Loretto School

Founded in 1827, and located in a stunningly spacious 85 acre campus just outside the bustling cultural centre of Edinburgh, Loretto is one of Scotland's leading independent boarding schools and home to Europe's leading Golf Academy. We are dedicated to blending academic excellence with a richness of opportunity beyond the classroom. As a coeducati... onal boarding and school for boys and girls aged 12 - 18, we are committed to providing a bespoke, pioneering and all-round education seven days a week. Indeed Loretto is a boarding school with first-class facilities for day pupils. Deliberately and proudly smaller than some we achieve and compete at the highest levels. Our size enables our staff to get the best from everyone. High standards of teaching combine with opportunities for independent study to create an intellectual curiosity in Lorettonians that stays with them for life. The diverse and rigorous curriculum means we are constantly able to help Lorettonians to fulfil, if not exceed, their academic and intellectual potential. The enormous range of activities away from the classroom ensures that each pupil can grow and develop wherever their interests and talents may lie. Music and drama play strong parts in the life at Loretto and there are numerous and varied opportunities to perform. Loretto has a quite outstanding reputation in many different disciplines of sport - golf, rugby, hockey, cricket and lacrosse to name but a few.Read More
