CAPITAL SCHOOL OF ENGLISH

The School is situated in the bustling port area of Edinburgh called Leith, about a 10-minute bus journey from Edinburgh city centre. Leith itself is undergoing something of a transformation these days, with the creation of hundreds of new flats, offices, restaurants and hotels under the auspices of the Waterfront Development, and a major Retail Park at Ocean Terminal. The Scottish Office, Scotland’s main administrative centre, is based here and it is also home to one of the UK’s most popular tourist attractions, The Royal Yacht Brittania.

Although the School affords immediate access to all of these new and exciting facilities, it is situated in a much more traditional building in a well-established part of Leith, offering a calm and comfortable learning environment.

Social Programme

We also organise a range of outings and events to give you a "feel" of Edinburgh and Scottish culture. These are mostly free, and include visits to museums, Botanical Gardens, "old" Edinburgh, the local countryside, etc.

If you would like to see some photos from past outings and to read some student comments, why not visit our blog?
