St Aloysius' College is an independent, Roman Catholic, co-educational, all-through school for children aged 3-18, founded in 1859. It is situated in the Garnethill area of Glasgow, Scotland. Entry to the school is assessment-based and a limited number of bursaries are available.
As Scotland's only Jesuit school, St Aloysius' College embraces a distinctive form of Catholic education which places formation of the whole person at the centre of all learning. Pupils not only have their academic potential ignited, but are also taught to look on the world with empathy, offering their talents and energies for the benefit of others. The Green Blazer has come to symbolise the mission of the college, which sees pupils achieve academic success without losing their interests outside the classroom, taking on challenges with a sense of fun. The five elements of Jesuit Education - Intellectual Formation, Magis Curriculum, Religious Formation, Pastoral Care and Perspectives and Horizons - frame the Aloysian experience.
