St Leonards, St Andrews

-

Situated in the heart of St Andrews, St Leonards is a forwardthi­nking, co-educationa­l boarding and day school, which offers an outstandin­g education from age five to 18. St Leonards was named as Scotland’s Independen­t School of the Year 2019 and, for three years running, was listed as the Top Independen­t School Sixth Form in Scotland for IB/A Level results.

In the Sixth Form, pupils follow the IB Diploma Programme, which has been praised by students, parents and university admissions officers for its focus on deepening learning, offering wider subject options, and enriching minds, whilst St Leonards Junior School is the first school in Scotland to be accredited to teach the inspiring Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate Primary Years Programme.

All three boarding houses have recently undergone an extensive £4 million redevelopm­ent, creating smart, yet homely social spaces and modern study bedrooms. Work to transform the common rooms in St Rule was completed in summer 2019, creating a comfortabl­e and stylish heart to the house, with a friendly ‘prep school’ atmosphere for younger boarders. Many bedrooms have sea views beyond the school playing fields, and full, flexi and weekly boarding is available from age ten.

Outside the classroom, the leading five-tier St Leonards Golf Programme continues to go from strength to strength, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is the fastest growing of all Scottish independen­t schools, and an exciting calendar of trips and activities ensures pupils leave St Leonards equipped with the skills, and interests, required to succeed in today’s ever-changing world. Truly an education ‘Ad Vitam’.
