Lomond School, a private institution in Scotland, will begin accepting Bitcoin for tuition payments

Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, is developing an educational curriculum combining the principles of Bitcoin (BTC) and Austrian economics.

A private Scottish school, Lomond School, will begin accepting Bitcoin (BTC) for tuition payments and is collaborating with Bitcoin author Saifedean Ammous to introduce a new curriculum focused on Bitcoin and Austrian economics.

Announcing the collaboration on April 12, Ammous said he will be working with Lomond School to create a curriculum that combines the principles of Bitcoin and Austrian economics.

"I'm going to be working with Lomond School to make some material that will hopefully be useful for making it widely available worldwide," Ammous said.

"Excited to announce that I'll be working with Lomond School to develop a curriculum for bitcoin and Austrian economics. We can't wait to share the content more broadly in the new year.

"The positivity of the bitcoin community has been incredible. Thank you!"Optimism, pessimism, and bitcoin. Thoughts on the state of the world and where we're headed, and how bitcoin plays a role in it all.

"I'm thrilled to be working with Dr. Ammous and appreciative of the positivity of the Bitcoin community towards the school's initiative," said Lomond School Principal Claire Chisholm. "We're looking forward to continuing this journey together."

The news comes a day after Lomond School announced it would accept BTC for tuition payments starting from the autumn semester of 2025, becoming the first school in the United Kingdom to adopt BTC payments.

"We're always looking for ways to innovate and improve, and we believe that accepting bitcoin is a natural progression for our school," said Chisholm in a statement on April 11.

"We're also interested in exploring the educational aspects of bitcoin and cryptocurrency more broadly.

"We're excited to be at the forefront of this technological and financial change."

Ammous is best known for The Bitcoin Standard, which was first published in 2018. The book outlines the economic philosophy behind Bitcoin and contrasts it with fiat currency systems. It has sold more than one million copies and has been translated into 38 languages, according to Ammous.

Cointelegraph has contacted both Ammous and Lomond School for additional details regarding the upcoming curriculum.
