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. 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.

The College is proud of its traditions but is forward looking and determined to continue with its vision to create 'men and women for others' for the next 160 years and beyond. We are proudly independent and members of HMC but we are also linked to the worldwide Jesuit network of schools educating over 2.5 million students worldwide. This brings unique opportunities for training, development and engagement with leading schools across the globe.

The College is proudly a Jesuit and Catholic school but its community is diverse.
