Many schools can boast about their exceptional academics, university successes, extensive sporting and co- curricular programmes, internationalists, specialist sporting academies, welcoming atmospheres and stunning grounds and facilities. Indeed, we can do that as well.

What makes Merchiston different, however, is a combination of things: our size, a genuine focus on the needs of the individual, and the fact that we really understand boys and how to get the very best out of them. It is a potent trio. It is what enables us to know our boys really well and to understand what makes them tick.

Our community’s wellbeing is central; without it no- one will ever achieve their best. That is why wellbeing underpins everything we do. Our boys thrive because they are known, understood, valued, and supported in everything they do.

Merchiston is a remarkable school where boys make life- long friends and community connections while gaining a world- class, global, outward- looking education.

“Traditional, warm and personal school – small enough for everyone to know everyone.”

We would love to talk to you about your son and, more importantly, talk with him to work out what makes him tick, discuss where he wants to go next and make sure he has the toolkit to get there.

We know that choosing a school for your son is an important decision, which is why we treat every application individually. No two families are the same, so there is no typical process.

This term, we are delighted to be able to offer personalised tours; we build our tours around you and your son. Visit us in person to meet the headmaster and tour our grounds, or experience our new interactive and immersive 360- degree virtual tour.

Our success proves that what we do works.
