Welcome to St Leonards, where we prepare our boys and girls for life in its fullest sense. Our goal is to bring out the best in each pupil by recognizing, encouraging, and developing their unique skills. We treat our students as individuals who think for themselves, with their aspirations, potential, and talents.
After GCSEs/IGCSEs, we offer the world-leading International Baccalaureate (IB), a global alternative to Scottish Highers and English A Levels. Our students leave St Leonards not with merely an exam certificate, but with an internationally recognized qualification for life.
We are a school with learning at our heart, both inside the classroom and out. In addition to the remarkable resources here at St Leonard's, we are privileged to have close links with St Andrews University. We think St Leonards offers unrivaled opportunities for sport, music, drama, and art, and we have a large program of co-curricular activities.
The curriculum at St Leonard's is underpinned by well-established values that permeate the school from start to finish, from the youngest pupil to the oldest. Our leavers go on to leading universities and careers throughout Scotland, the United Kingdom, the World.
We invite you to visit us, whether you are interested in boarding or a day place. When you cross the St Leonards threshold you find a unique and vibrant institution, a place where you learn for life – and, of course, make friends for life. We look forward to sharing with you the world that is St Leonards.
The historic priory walls which bound the campus might be ancient but, within them, our facilities are thoroughly modern. They include:
- Purpose-built music school and auditorium
- Indoor swimming pool
- Science, digital language, and ICT laboratories
- The award-winning school dining hall
- Dedicated art and drama studios
- Squash courts
- Astroturf playing pitches
- Expansive grass playing fields
Many of the facilities enjoyed by the students are also available for hire for residential and non-residential events outwith term time. We take pride in providing a friendly welcome and a first-class experience for a diverse range of organizations with varying requirements. Every year, eager to avoid disappointment, many of them rebook straight away.
