The first school in the vicinity of Cardonald was established at [[Halfway, Glasgow|Halfway]] in 1790, by a local blacksmith who taught the rudiments of reading, writing and arithmetic. In 1860, Cardonald School was established when a school building and teacher's house were built at the corner of Paisley Road West and Lammermoor Avenue. The two-roomed, single-storey school building was extended in 1899 with the addition of a second storey, and was further extended in 1911.

Cardonald School remained the only school in the area until the 1930s when Lourdes Primary School and Angus Oval Primary School were built.<ref>Innes, John. (1993). ''Old Cardonald Had A Farm''. Glasgow City Libraries & Archives. p.23.</ref> Cardonald School transferred to the new building (built on the site of the former Angus Oval Primary School) in 1965. NB Angus Oval had acted as an annexe for Cardonald Primary for some years - handling Primaries 1 and 2 until around 1963. The old Cardonald School building on Paisley Rd. West was used as a careers office and for a number of other uses, before being demolished in 2003.
In the heart of north Cardonald was Belses Primary school. Sited on Belses Drive at the junction of Kingsland Drive. This was an annexe for the larger Hillington Primary school.
After this wooden school was demolished a new school was built on the existing playing field at Hallrule drive. The [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[Lourdes Secondary School]] was opened in 1956.

[[Cardonald College]], one of Scotland's largest [[further education]] colleges, opened in 1972. It merged with [[Anniesland College]] and [[Langside College]] in August 2013 to form [[Glasgow Clyde College]], and was renamed Cardonald Campus.
