Located in Northern Europe, Scotland occupies more than one third of the island of Great Britain. Its only land border is with England in the south; on the west and north side is bounded by Atlantic Ocean and on the east by the North Sea. The official language of Scotland is English, while Scot and Scottish Gaelic are minority languages.

Edinburgh. Attending a high school program in Scotland’s capital city entails getting an international education in UNESCO’s first City of Literature. Due to the intense duality between the old city, a labyrinth of narrow streets and hidden courtyards, and the new city, boasting Georgian and Neoclassical architecture, Edinburgh is shrouded in a melancholic, but tremendously fascinating, atmosphere. The city that inspired the setting of The strange case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde will be an enchanting place for an high school student to experience!

Glasgow. Awarded numerous titles, included the City of Culture, City of Architecture and Design, Capital of Sport, and UNESCO City of Music, in recent years, Glasgow offers an exceptional arts and culture scene where students will have the opportunity to meet individuals from all academic and cultural backgrounds. Its magnificent architectural legacy in red and blonde sandstone, which dates back to the 12th century, makes it a spectacularly beautiful city with the most striking cityscape in the UK.

St. Andrews. Once the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, St. Andrews is a small, but busy, town where modern facilities appear among historic buildings from the fifteenth century. The town is now famous for being the oldest university town in Scotland and a pilgrimage centre for golfers, presenting a wide array of societies, sports clubs, and recreational activities for students.
