Personal Edinburgh School Guide

Choosing a school for one’s child is an exciting but weighty task.

We know personally that Relocating with children adds a level of stress. Whilst there are opportunities to experience different cultures and make new friends, picking the right school to start with, especially in a new city or country, can be really worrying. Our children are our greatest investment. Choosing a school for one’s child is an exciting but weighty task. Edinburgh is blessed to have a plethora of fantastic schools, providing amazing if overwhelming choice for you and your children.

Prep, senior, all through, single-sex, co-ed, GCSEs, National 5s, A levels, Highers, International Baccalaureate, B-Techs, day, flexi/weekly/full boarding…..As you’d expect, each school is different – by size, facilities, location, academic or sporting prowess, community engagement, international intake.

“Caroline was so knowledgeable and put me at ease”

With young children it saved me so much precious time not having to trawl google for hours finding things out about the different independent schools. Caroline was so knowledgeable and put me at ease. I highly recommend Caroline’s independent school service.
