At The Edinburgh Academy, Learning and Teaching lies at the heart of everything we do, both inside and outside the classroom. Our goal is to help every pupil follow their individual academic path, guided by inspirational teaching, an innovative curriculum, and the appropriate levels of support and challenge.

We want all Academy Learners to be intellectually curious, independent, creative, collaborative, and resilient.

From Geits (P7) to 3rds (S2), pupils build on the strong foundations set in our Junior School. Our broad curriculum, based on Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence, integrates traditional academic subjects with vibrant experiences in Art & Design, Drama, Music, and Design Technology, fostering creativity alongside intellectual rigour.

We aim to personalise learning and ensure that each pupil is supported to think critically, solve problems, and develop self-motivation and integrity.

In the Senior Phase, pupils receive expert guidance as they select a broad range of subjects leading to National 5 qualifications, followed by Highers and Advanced Highers. There are also numerous enrichment opportunities, including the EPQ, Sports Leadership, STEP Maths and UCAT Preparation, to name a few.

Our outstanding academic results reflect a culture of high expectations, individualised support, and a commitment to develop learners who are confident and well-prepared for the future.
