Lomond Private School is a coeducational boarding school in western Scotland. It sometimes comes as a surprise for newly arrived students and their parents that in such a quiet area, in a small town, there is such a developed, modern school with an excellent level of education. Officially, the year of the beginning of the work of the Lomond school is 1977: then there was a merger of the male Larchfield Academy (founded in 1845) and the female St Bride's School (founded in 1895).
Lomond school provides a flexible educational course: the ability to combine subjects, extracurricular activities, sports and creative electives in any variation ensures the maximum disclosure of the potential of each student, interest in learning, new academic and personal challenges. Membership in the HMC and ISGA (The Independent Schools Golf Association), attention to modern technology and IT ensure the relevance of education at Lomond. The traditional Scottish curriculum Scottish Higher is offered, exams at levels National (4 and 5), Higher and Advanced Higher are taken.
The school is quite small, and this is its advantage: everyone is familiar with everyone, teachers and staff know each student by sight, take into account his strengths and weaknesses, helping to develop at a personal pace. There are no more than 20 people in each classroom, and a common uniform with insignia helps to feel like part of a single close-knit community.
The school is not considered confessional: children of any religion are accepted at Lomond School, there are no compulsory sermons - only general Christian traditions of upbringing.
A wide, varied curriculum helps students to get acquainted with all major academic disciplines and determine their interests and inclinations. Children develop curiosity, love and interest in learning, instill basic academic skills, teach them to highlight their strengths and be leaders.
It becomes possible to choose priority academic disciplines: the general list of available is wide, so that a successful combination will be collected for everyone.
For foreign students, there is a supporting English language course (EAL).
At the end of Senior 4, exams are taken in 8 subjects (National 5), which are equivalent to the British GCSE.
This is the equivalent of grades 11-12 in the traditional system.
A mixed Higher and National 5 qualification can also be obtained, with more emphasis on the highest priority subject or language.
The new buildings of the Lomond School campus also include 3 cozy residences for students who prefer a boarding form of study (about 70 students). There are separate houses for boys and girls. The academic building is just 100 meters away.
Together with the children, the staff also lives in the residences, who keep order, help with a variety of domestic issues, and provide a calm and family atmosphere.
Lomond School strives to develop each child comprehensively, focusing on his abilities and inclinations. Extracurricular activities are designed to develop self-confidence, leadership qualities, the ability to work in a team, adaptability, and responsibility.
High school students can take part in the "Duke of Edinburgh Prize" program: this is very much appreciated by the admissions offices of universities.
Traditional music is a strong direction of Lomond School: the musicians of the school often give concerts, went to the USA with performances, played on TV and radio broadcasts. National Scottish instruments are also popular.
Excursions and off-site activities (in the city or in nature) are held regularly.
Lomond School is located in the small town of Helensburg (Ergil and Butte). It takes about 7 hours to get to London, while Glasgow and Edinburgh airports can be reached in 30 and 90 minutes, respectively. The school campus is located along a huge lake, surrounded by the greenery of the national park.
