Lomond School, a prestigious co-educational boarding institution in Helensburgh, Scotland, will begin accepting Bitcoin tuition payments from Autumn 2025, becoming the first school in the UK to do so.
The move follows increasing demand from international families and education agents seeking more flexible, global payment solutions.
The school, which teaches students from age three to 18, will partner with two FCA-approved Bitcoin service providers to process the transactions. Initially, all Bitcoin payments will be converted into British pounds. However, the administration has hinted at plans to eventually establish a digital asset reserve.
Principal Claire Chisholm is expected to officially announce the development at Cheatcode, the UK’s national Bitcoin conference.
“For generations, this school has nurtured inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and open-minded risk-takers,” Chisholm said. “It’s really no surprise then that the inventor of the television, John Logie Baird, is a former pupil. We were the first boarding school in Scotland to house boys and girls together and recently adopted the International Baccalaureate curriculum, aligning ourselves with globally recognized education standards.”
Lomond’s shift comes as more institutions across the UK explore digital asset integration in response to increasing crypto adoption and evolving global financial trends.
