Established in 1929, Basil Paterson is a small independent college and exam centre located in the heart of Edinburgh. We offer an academic, year-round alternative to school for students to complete their National 5s, Highers and Advanced Highers.

We achieve this by:
- Maintaining and building positive student/teacher relationships
