Our changing world is full of challenges and opportunities for young people. Finding a school that can provide an all-round education to prepare them for what lies ahead is vital. Loretto is that school.

Founded in 1827, Loretto is Scotland's first boarding school. Today an independent boarding, flexi and day school, it welcomes girls and boys from 3 to 18 years.

Set in a safe, leafy 85-acre campus just six miles from Edinburgh, Loretto enjoys all the advantages of this rural setting while being globally connected – the school is just nine kilometres from Scotland's capital city, its international airport, rail, and road networks.

The first thing you notice when you enter Loretto's campus is the warmth and energy of both pupils and staff. Relationships are marked by kindness, care and respect; a truly special environment for providing the confidence and know-how to thrive in life beyond Loretto.

With its superb location on Scotland's Golf Coast, the school has a strong tradition of top-level golf and established the Loretto Golf Academy in 2002 – the first of its kind within an independent school. Three distinct training programmes – Club, Team, and Reds – are delivered by top-class PGA Professional coaches within innovative facilities located on campus. The Academy continues to set the standard for excellence in golf education.

Loretto's founder was dedicated to blending academic excellence with a wealth of experiences beyond the classroom. The enormous range of extracurricular activities offered ensures that each pupil can grow and develop wherever their interests and talents may lie. The school's achievements in music, art, drama and its strong reputation in sporting endeavours – both in major team sports and other sports, are testament to that.

Ultimately, to really understand the warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes Loretto different, you have to experience the school in person. So please come along for a visit – you will soon see why our pupils are so proud to be called Lorettonians.
