“...friendliness, size and the feeling that our child is an individual known to everyone. They care about the individual child, his happiness and his progress.”
“The curriculum, the pastoral care, the music and the ethos which comes from good leadership.”
“The happy and hard working environment where pupils respect their teachers and are also respected and valued as individuals themselves.”
“We were so impressed with the staff, the atmosphere, initial communication and the facilities - it outshone our other choices.”

educating the individual
Personally Tailored Teaching
Edinburgh independent school for boys & girls aged 2 to 18
Personally tailored teaching
Your child is an individual: unique talents, unique needs, unique ambitions.
Your child needs a school that not only recognises this uniqueness but is equipped to tailor its teaching to suit the individual child.
Large schools can lack the necessary flexibility. The Edinburgh Academy is a small school with small class sizes.

Help with fees is available
Every year The Edinburgh Academy offers financial support to help able children achieve their highest potential.
Bursaries (financial support) of up to 100% of school fees are available to appropriate pupils whose families may not otherwise be in a position to consider the school.
Scholarships are also available to reward academic talent or excellence in art, sport or music. |
