Largs Academy was a non-denominational high school, located on Flatt Road in the town of Largs from 1970 until 2018, when it closed and moved to a new shared campus facility nearby.

It had a capacity for 1200 pupils who came from six feeder primary schools; St. Mary's Primary School, Brisbane Primary School, Cumbrae Primary School, Fairlie Primary School, Kelburn Primary School and Skelmorlie Primary School. Placement requests were also considered from other nearby towns.

The school was extended in 2008. Accommodation included general classrooms, various practical rooms, an assembly hall which doubled as the main examination hall, two dining halls, a library/resource centre, a computer suite, a medical room, a Guidance suite and Support for Learning and Pupil Support bases etc. The PE facilities include a games hall, gymnasium, activity room, two all‐weather sports pitches and a playing field.

Famous former pupils include GB Ryder Cup winning Captain, Sam Torrance and actress Daniela Nardini.

Scotland's national sports training centre on the outskirts of Largs caters for multiple indoor and outdoor sports. Wheelchair accessible throughout, it also offers residential accommodation and conference facilities.

The centre was the brainchild of the late Lord Inverclyde, after whom it was named (it should be noted that it is not located in the adjacent Inverclyde Council area). Lord Inverclyde was the president of the Scottish Council for Physical Recreation until his death in 1957. The centre was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1958 and was largely rebuilt and extended in 2017/17.

It is used primarily by elite sportsmen, including the national football team, but is also open to members of the public.
