Shawlands Academy dated from 1857 when there was a private school of the same name located nearby in Skirving Street.

This private school became state-owned and was then called Crossmyloof Annexe.

The Shawlands Academy we know today opened its doors over 118 years ago in 1894 in the nearby building on Pollokshaws Road which now houses Shawlands Primary School.

Reflecting its status as Glasgow International School, Shawlands taught many modern languages, including Urdu.
