The new nursery, completed 2008.
Parents say ...
“...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 Nursery gave our children a flying start. We were impressed by the care, commitment and quality of the Nursery staff.”
“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.”
Edinburgh Academy
educating the individual
We treat all our pupils the same way - individually!
Your child is very special to you. You want your child to be special at school as well as at home. The Edinburgh Academy Junior School is a small school with small class sizes. Here your child is an individual, not lost in the crowd.
What makes your child an individual? Unique talents, unique needs, unique ambitions. Your child needs a school that is equipped to provide personally tailored teaching to suit the needs of the individual child. He or she must be encouraged by personal commitment and by example to develop these unique talents; to be keen to learn, to participate and to contribute in his or her own way to the community. In large schools with large classes individuality can be overwhelmed; in a small school with small classes it is nourished.
Second year of coeducation
The Edinburgh Academy Junior School, an independent Edinburgh primary school, now offers its superlative service to girls as well as boys. This has proved extremely popular, filling the nursery and
Primary 1, and forcing the creation of a new class in Primary 4. If you are looking for an Edinburgh nursery, an Edinburgh boys primary school, or an Edinburgh girls primary school, The Edinburgh Academy Junior School should now be your first choice. Not mass produced education but personally tailored teaching.
What makes The Edinburgh Academy your best choice?
A small school with small classes
 Looking for Edinburgh primary schools with small classes? It is small classes that make individual attention & personally tailored teaching possible. To be seen as an individual a child must not be crowded into a large class where his share of the teacher's attention is only a few minutes per day. For a child to develop an inquiring mind, her teacher needs to be able to respond when she wants to ask a question.

Out of class activities & after school care
 Looking for all day child care? At the Edinburgh Academy Junior School you can, if you choose, have your child looked after from 8am till 6pm every day throughout the year with only a few exceptions. From 8am, Early Birds is a hive of activity and fun. Then when classes end, the activities begin. Throughout the school staff and children get a wonderful chance to enjoy each other’s company in a fun and social atmosphere.

Good teachers & differentiated learning
 Looking for sound educational methods? Good primary school teaching methods encourage children to take an active responsibility for their own learning. Personally tailored teaching means a variety of methods; kinaesthetic , visual and auditory, to meet individual needs. Teachers are highly qualified & committed, communicating their enthusiasm to the children & making learning fun!

A spacious campus
 Looking for outdoor space? Few Edinburgh primary school children are able to enjoy such wonderful play areas, surrounded by trees and grass which in turn become an outdoor classroom of enviable proportions.With the Edinburgh Academy Sports Centre and the magnificent playing fields actually on our campus, children can be playing games within minutes of leaving the classroom.
|
Preparatory for the Senior School
 Looking for an Edinburgh prep school? The terms private school and prep school have gone out of fashion nowadays. We tend to speak of independent schools rather than private schools, and primary schools rather than prep schools. However The Edinburgh Academy Junior School is still a preparatory school (or prep school) for The Edinburgh Academy; a small coeducational school offering personally tailored teaching.

Pupils say
our "new" girls
"Edinburgh Academy is great! I wasn’t sure about going to a school with so many boys but the boys have all been great fun. I’ve tried lots of new sports like touch rugby and hockey. I like all my new teachers and enjoy all of my new subjects. I think that the Science and Art room are fab! I can’t imagine being anywhere else now. Edinburgh Academy is my school."
"I was very nervous but excited about starting at the Edinburgh Academy. Having been at an all girls school I wasn’t sure how the boys would treat me. The boys have all been really friendly and kind. I have made lots of new friends. Although you have to take school lunches, I have enjoyed baked potatoes and cheese and fish and chips on a Friday!"
our "old" boys
"I think that the school is even better now; it is fun to play with girls and boys."
