Merchiston is a remarkable School where boys make lifelong friends and community connections, whilst gaining a world-class, global, outward-looking education.
Our community’s wellbeing is central without it, no one will ever achieve their best. That is why wellbeing underpins everything we do. It is what makes for meaningful and connected conversations. It is how we get to know your son well. It is why we can support and motivate him in just the right way. Your son will thrive because he is known, understood, valued, and supported in everything he does.
When your son joins us, he will leave Merchiston as a rounded individual, not only having achieved the highest level of personal academic success but also with a sense of who he is and with respect for others, having learned what it means to have true integrity and character.
Our mission is to provide a caring community for your son, which treats him as an individual, unearths and tends his talents, encourages him to pursue excellence in all he does, and enables him to flourish.
We aim to ensure that your son:
- Acquires the confidence and leadership skills to succeed in a dynamic and global world, and to strive for the highest standards
- Balances modesty and confidence
- Becomes an enthusiastic and curious learner achieving excellence in all he does
- Develops compassion, respect for others, and integrity
- Discovers and embraces all the opportunities on offer to develop his talents
- Enjoys a sense of happiness and fulfillment
- Learns tolerance and responsibility
- Understands the needs of others within and beyond our community
