An education that lasts a lifetime
Welcome to Erskine Stewart Melville
An award-winning co-educational school for 3-18 year olds, in the heart of Edinburgh.
This is a school where children can truly be themselves, and it’s important that they are because individuality is something we celebrate. By the time they leave school, they will have the tools and mindset they need to thrive and to make a positive impact on the world, whatever path they choose. And most importantly they will have lots of fun along the way.
