The post Lomond School becomes the first U.K school to accept Bitcoin payments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Lomond School declares parents can pay tuition fees in Bitcoin starting from Autumn, in a landmark move that makes it the first school in the U.K to accept Bitcoin payments. According to a report on the Independent School Management site, the co-educational boarding school has become the first school in the U.K. to accept Bitcoin (BTC) for tuition fees. Located in the Scottish town of Helensburgh, the school provides education for students aged three until 18 years old. In order to make BTC an acceptable payment option, Lomond School has partnered with Bitcoin payment provider Musqet and the FCA-regulated virtual asset service and fiat wallet CoinCorner.

In her speech, she explained that the school has been a trailblazer in many “firsts” as it was the first boarding school to house both boys and girls and embraced the International Baccalaureate curriculum. “For generations, this school has nurtured inquirers, thinkers, communicators, and open-minded risk-takers. It’s really no surprise then that the inventor of the television, John Logie Baird, is a former pupil,” said Chisholm.
