Alternative Schools

Do you find your present school to stressful and restrictive? Are you looking for alternative schools to complete your education? Or maybe you are just enquiring about alternative schools in Edinburgh? If the answer is yes, look no further. Here at Wallace College we offer young students support and guidance with a more adult approach to learning, for those who are determined to continue with their education.


Wallace College was established in 1972 and is situated in the heart of the old town of Edinburgh. We are a small independent college offering a first-rate education to all students, we feel students progress well within alternative schools due to the environment being free of unnecessary rules and routines.


There are many advantages for students enrolling at alternative schools and the atmospheres within alternative schools are very similar to that of university tutorials with students being encouraged to participate in classes. The main advantage of this method is that students feel comfortable about asking and raising questions and teachers can focus on the individual needs of the students.


Subjects and subject combinations that are not available in mainstream schools can be taken at alternative schools like ourselves and here at Wallace college we can negotiate a study programme with days and times to suit your every need. This can be valuable for students who will have to commute or who wish to study with a part time job.
