English school in Edinburgh

Watched over by its hilltop castle, this city of Gothic spires and winding medieval streets welcomes philosophers, artists and revelers

Our Edinburgh school

Edinburgh is the spiritual home of everyone who loves a good intellectual debate and a good night out. You’ll find a globally respected university, and fantastic libraries and museums. Every summer the streets are thronged with performers, theatre-lovers and party-goers for the world’s biggest arts festival, and every winter the city lights up with a three-day party to welcome in the New Year.

OPEN FOR ONLINE LEARNING

Our Edinburgh school is now open, with enhanced safety measures in place throughout the school. To celebrate the reopening we are offering 2 weeks free residential accommodation and online lessons, to start improving English during quarantine. Find out more.

  • Our English school is right in the heart of it all, just steps away from the famous shopping thoroughfare of Princes Street, the Scott Monument and the beautiful Dean Gardens
  • Runs a packed social program with many unique Scottish experiences like ceilidh dancing, Burns Suppers and whisky distillery visits
  • Excursions include trips to the spectacular Scottish Highlands every weekend
  • Closed groups for Juniors aged 12-17 can be accepted in our Edinburgh school
