International Applications
Come and speak to our Admissions team at upcoming international events
Studying in another country is a massive adventure. Like all adventures, it can also be daunting.
If your son joins Merchiston from overseas, he will not be alone. We welcome boys from all over the world, every year, into each year group. Your son will be joining a global community where roughly 20% of the school are international pupils from over 25 different countries.
We will help him every step of the way, practically and emotionally: to settle in, to make friends, to explore cultures and to really make the most of his international adventure.
