Langholm Academy is a non-denominational, co-educational six-year comprehensive secondary school in Langholm, Scotland.

Contents

The school was created in March 1876, with John Howie as head. During the 1880s, the school had a record as one of the best academic schools in Scotland.

Currently, the school has 270 pupils: the current building was opened in 1962. A sports and leisure complex was opened alongside the school in 2002.

The Academy is associated with three primary schools: Langholm, Canonbie, and Glenzier.
