Austin Friars St Monica's School has a strong reputation in the north of Cumbria and in south-west Scotland for offering high quality independent day School education.  Pre-School, Junior and Senior sections provide a seamless education for boys and girls aged 3 - 18 on an attractive 25-acre site in the cathedral city of Carlisle.

Our pupils are provided with every opportunity to develop their talents to the full, growing up in a happy and fulfilling environment where all are valued and encouraged.  Traditional values are at the heart of our School community which, at the same time, is forward-thinking and vibrant as it meets the challenges of a changing world. The website sets out for you a flavour of life here at the School and a useful way of keeping in touch with us.  I hope that, if you have not previously visited, you will be tempted to come and find out more about the School.  I look forward to welcoming you.
