Founded in 1827, located in a spacious campus just outside Edinburgh, we are one of the UK’s leading independent coeducational schools, for both boarding and day school pupils.Traditional and innovative educational methods, first-class facilities and the advantages offered by a small school all combine to provide a uniquely rounded learning experience for girls and boys.
Our emphasis on the whole person is really what sets us apart.From day one, Loretto’s Founder was dedicated to blending academic excellence with a wealth of experiences beyond the classroom.
By helping girls and boys to excel in mind, body and spirit, we aim to help them unlock and realise their full potential.
Today’s staff and pupils are living proof of the clear benefits offered by that ethos.Being a small school enables us to share our big heart and ambition, and offer big opportunities for our young people.
Also reflecting Loretto’s commitment to help bring out the best in all, are our high standards of teaching and a diverse yet rigorous curriculum.
The enormous range of co-curricular activities we offer away from the classroom ensures that each pupil can grow and develop wherever their interests and talents may lie.
The School’s achievements in music, art and drama and our strong reputation in sporting endeavours – rugby, hockey, cricket, lacrosse and golf to name just a few – are both testament to that.
