Lomond School, a private Scottish institution, has begun accepting Bitcoin to pay tuition fees and is working with Bitcoin author, Saiphedian Ammas, to introduce a new curriculum focused on Bitcoin and Austrian economics.
Ammous, author of Bitcoin Standard, develops an educational curriculum that combines Bitcoin (BTC) with the principles of Austrian economics.
“I intend to work with the Lomond School to develop a curriculum for Bitcoin and Austrian economics,” Ammous wrote in the X-Post on April 12th, sharing his excitement to “create material widely available around the world.”

Lomond School Principal Cleachsholm confirmed the collaboration on April 12, writing that he was “thrilled to work with Dr. Amas,” thanking him for the “positivity of the Bitcoin community.”
The news comes a day after Lomond School announced it would accept tuition payments starting in the fall semester of 2025 and would be the first school in the UK to adopt BTC payments.

Ammous is best known for its Bitcoin Standard, first released in 2018. This book outlines the economic philosophy behind Bitcoin, in contrast to Fiat Currency Systems. According to Ammous, it has sold over 1 million copies and has been translated into 38 languages.
Cointelegraph has contacted both Ammous School and Lomond School for further details on upcoming curriculum.
