Welcome

Our excellent exam results and the destinations of our leavers speak for themselves. How it happens is much more important, for that is at the very heart of our success.

We will get to know your son: his strengths, and areas for development; his interests, and what motivates him; how best to support him through challenges. We will talk to him, encourage and stretch him. We will identify opportunities and discuss options. Together we will make, and refine, plans until we get it right. Our structure really helps: one individual might teach your son a subject, chat with him in the house and coach him on the pitch. That knowledge of your son in the round really helps us to support him academically and to ensure he is equipped to succeed to the very best of his ability, to achieve his personal excellence.

Merchiston is excited to launch our Saturday Electives Programme, which offers your son access to an incredible  breadth of learning opportunities, beyond the standard curriculum. We strongly believe in preparing Young Men of Integrity for life and in equipping them with transferrable skills to support them in their next steps. Students are invited to take full-advantage of our courses on offer and to find something which inspires & challenges them. Find out more about our Saturday Electives Programme here.
