About St Aloysius’ College.

We are a happy and welcoming Catholic community in the heart of Glasgow that serves young people from ages 3 to 18.

As a Jesuit school, we are part of a worldwide organisation that educates over two million students with a tradition over 450 years old. At its core, Jesuit education is about nurturing in students a secure sense of the love of God in all things.

St Aloysius’ College seeks to form happy, kind, and generous young ‘men and women for others’, who have developed excellence in their abilities and character and are ready to serve others and the world, following the example of Jesus.

We treasure every student in our school, and they are the focus of everything we do. We want each one to feel known and loved, and at St Aloysius’ College, we are lucky to have supportive parents and generous staff who help us achieve this.
