Individual, Community, Welcoming
Merchiston is a remarkable school where boys gain a world-class, outward-looking education. Wellbeing underpins everything we do and our smaller school community makes for meaningful and connected conversations. We will get to know your son as an individual ensuring we can support and motivate him in just the right way. When your son leaves Merchiston, he will have achieved the highest level of personal academic success, made lifelong friendships and developed a true sense of self. He will have learnt what it means to have true integrity and character, to understand the great privilege it was to be educated at Merchiston and to always think of how he can help others. With a Merchiston education, he will strive for happiness and success in all he does. Situated in a peaceful, wooded 100-acre campus in proximity to Edinburgh’s city centre, our location provides unrivalled opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside mountain biking, walking and hill running. The cultural, academic and sporting highlights of Edinburgh are just a short bus ride away and Edinburgh Airport only 15 minutes away for ease of international travel. Your son will thrive at Merchiston because he is known, understood, valued, and supported in everything he does.
