Welcome to

THE EDINBURGH
SPORTS ACADEMY

At The Edinburgh Sports Academy, we are proud to be partnered with Edinburgh City FC and The British Online School, offering an unparalleled opportunity for young athletes. Our academy is the first of its kind—a pioneering educational institution that combines full-time private education with the demands of being a full-time athlete. We provide a direct pathway to semi-professional football opportunities, both here in Scotland and across England.

A Unique Educational and Athletic Experience

In collaboration with The British Online School, we offer an outstanding, award-winning education that ensures our students receive the best academic support. Our partnership with Edinburgh City FC opens doors to competitive Club Academy Scotland teams and semi-professional football, giving students the chance to take their talents to the next level.

Expert Leadership and Seamless Integration

The founders and CEO of The British Online School, who are also majority shareholders in Edinburgh City FC, play a significant role in bringing these three key elements together. Their involvement ensures a smooth transition between the school, academy, and football club, creating a cohesive and supportive environment for all our students. Whether your child has exceptional sporting potential or academic ability, The Edinburgh Sports Academy is dedicated to discovering and nurturing their talents.

World-Class Training Led by Adam Cairnie

Our Head of Academy, Adam Cairnie, brings exceptional qualifications and experience to his role. He is deeply committed to the development of every student, providing top-level training that focuses on both the physical and tactical aspects of football. Under his expert guidance, students will see substantial growth in their skills and abilities, helping them to excel both on and off the field.

Preparing for the Future

With only 1% of academy players going on to professional football careers, it is more important than ever to provide a solid educational foundation. The Edinburgh Sports Academy offers just that—a comprehensive private education delivered by an award-winning institution, ensuring that our students are prepared for whatever the future holds.
