ST ALOYSIUS' COLLEGE: THE SCHOOL

St Aloysius' College is unique. Scotland's only Jesuit school is situated at the very heart of the city of Glasgow - with a large campus right next to the Glasgow School of Art and near to the Royal Conservatoire, few schools feel quite so much part of the city.Our iconic green blazer is as much a part of the city as the Clyde and Central Station. More than 800 students are educated across the Junior and Senior Schools (3-18). The College has a proud tradition of academic excellence, with results placing us amongst the top performing schools in the country. There is good demand for places at the key entry points to the schools. The College occupies a range of buildings from the imposing and listed 1859 Hanson Building, through the award winning Clavius Science Building to the £8 million sports complex at the very heart of our site. Possibly the most socially diverse of all the Glasgow independent schools, the College is currently engaged in the silent phase' of a major appeal for further bursary funds.

The College is proud of its traditions, but it is forward looking and determined to continue with its vision to create men and women for others' for the next 160 years and beyond.
