Lomond School, an exclusive establishment in Scotland, is set to start accepting Bitcoin as a method for tuition fees and is partnering with Bitcoin author Saifedean Ammous to implement a novel curriculum centered around Bitcoin and Austrian economics.
Ammous, the writer of The Bitcoin Standard, is crafting an educational program that merges the concepts of Bitcoin (BTC) and Austrian economic theory.
“I will collaborate with Lomond School to create a curriculum focused on Bitcoin and Austrian economics,” Ammous expressed in an April 12 X post, sharing his enthusiasm for “spreading the knowledge globally.”

On April 12, Lombard School Principal Claire Chisholm affirmed the partnership, stating her excitement about collaborating with Dr. Ammous and her gratitude for the “supportive nature of the Bitcoin community.”
This announcement follows closely after Lomond School’s declaration regarding the acceptance of BTC for tuition fees starting in the autumn semester of 2025, making it the first institution in the United Kingdom to embrace BTC payments.
