Some international students join the School each year at Sixth Form level. Currently the school is especially popular with boys from Germany, Hong Kong, China and Russia. Foreign nationals and expatriates account for about 14% of the School's roll. They bring with them a diverse range of different cultures, which greatly enhances the overall culture of the School.
Merchiston is ideally located for international students:
- Set in the heart of one of Europe's most thriving capital cities, Edinburgh.
- Extra-curricular activities ensure benefit from all the cultural, social and sporting opportunities found in Edinburgh and in the Scottish countryside.
- Edinburgh international Airport and the railway station are twenty minutes drive from the campus.
- Availability of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), learning support, and special dietary requirements.
International students are screened for English language tuition on entry and receive an individual programme, including small group, or one-to-one support.

All international students require a UK resident guardian. The guardian acts on behalf of parents in the UK, looks after your son during half term or leave-outs, and can be contacted in an emergency. The School can recommend guardianship agencies, and we now offer guardian families from current parents.
