More Than Education At Loretto, our commitment is to your child to create their exceptional life, whatever that means for them. As Scotland's oldest boarding school, we deliver a rounded curriculum in all of the ways you might expect - through our diverse curriculum, expansive extracurricular programme, and outstanding facilities.

However, what sets Loretto apart is our -knit community. Loretto is a where relationships between staff, pupils, and parents flourish, where every child is known and nurtured, and where your child will find both the inspiration and encouragement they need to discover their unique talents and passions.

At Loretto, the British examination system of GCSEs, A Levels, and BTECs is followed, with cohorts consistently achieving excellent results.

Life after Loretto is bright, with leavers moving on to exciting and varied pathways after school. Beyond the classroom, an extracurricular programme of over 70 activities - ranging from astrophysics to psychopathology - enables pupils to expand their horizons, develop and discover talents, and enhance their skills for life.

Lorettonians also benefit from a comprehensive sports programme, which includes access to the first Golf Academy established within an independent school. The Loretto Golf Academy continues to set the standard for excellence in golf education, offering three distinct training programmes, catering to enthusiastic beginners to aspiring professionals.
