The story, ethos and character of St Leonards.

Setting: Town
Ethos: Non-denominational
Head: Mr Simon Brian

St Leonards is an all-through IB, coeducational boarding school situated in a safe, historic campus in the heart of the seaside university town of St Andrews, Scotland. Less than an hour from Edinburgh Airport, this special Scottish coastal town is renowned as the home of golf and Scotland's first university.

St Leonards is a progressive yet traditional British boarding school with the benefit of an international outlook. This is fostered by the International Baccalaureate curriculum, taught from Kindergarten to Year 13. It was the first school in Scotland to be accredited as an all-through IB school, and is the only school in the UK to actively offer all four IB programmes.

With the beach just two minutes' walk from the grounds, well-established links with the University of St Andrews, and 7 championship links golf courses on the doorstep, co-curricular activities - of which there are over 50 on offer - play an important role in school life.
