St Leonards

Situated in the heart of St Andrews, St Leonards is a forward-thinking, coeducational, boarding and day school, which offers an outstanding education from age 5 to 18. St Leonards was named 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.

St Leonards follows the inspiring and globally-recognised International Baccalaureate curriculum, praised by students, parents, and admissions officers for its focus on deepening learning, offering wider subject options, and enriching minds. In Years 1-6 pupils follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP), before progressing to the Middle Years Programme (MYP). In the Sixth Form, students choose the Diploma Programme (DP) or, from August 2020, the Career-related Programme (CP). St Leonards 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 programmes.

Over the past three years, the boarding houses have undergone an extensive £4 million redevelopment. The renovated houses have beautiful, state-of-the-art kitchens and spacious communal areas, regularly used for fun evening and weekend activities. The bedrooms have been fitted with new built-in beds and study spaces, with modern storage and lighting. Many bedrooms have sea views beyond the school playing fields. Full, flexi, and weekly boarding is available from age 10.

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’.
