Our Location...

Oxenfoord International is now enjoying its fourth year at Loretto School, a distinguished Scottish boarding school set in 85 acres of leafy campus in Musselburgh, just on the eastern outskirts of Edinburgh and ideally placed to explore Scotland's historic capital.

Musselburgh is an accessible, attractive town which has retained a racecourse, a harbour, and spectacular views across the River Forth towards Edinburgh. At low tide the water retreats nearly a mile to expose a sandy beach with scattered shingle, so there is lots to explore. There are also plenty of shops and cafes to be found within easy walking distance of Loretto School.

Set in an historical campus, Loretto School has excellent facilities and a strong musical tradition from its foundation in 1827. The school chapel houses an exceptional organ, built by Kenneth Jones in 1988, and the Music School, opened in 1990, contains a suite of practice rooms and the Peter Wood Memorial Concert Hall with brand new Boston Concert Grand. The awarding of Loretto's All-Steinway status came in 2010 and is an important feature of the course:

"The high levels of music making at Oxenfoord International are enhanced by the wonderful stock of pianos at Loretto School. This creates a professional working environment for our staff and an unrivalled learning experience for the singers."
Malcolm Martineau,
Artistic Director,
Oxenfoord International
