Edinburgh Merchant Company Education Board

About

The Edinburgh Merchant Company Education Board (the “Education Board”) is responsible for The Mary Erskine School and Stewart’s Melville College, including their combined Junior School, (Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools or ESMS) and George Watson’s College (GWC) (the “Schools”). The Merchant Company Education Board endowments are held and administered for the purposes of the provision of education at the Edinburgh Merchant Company schools, their maintenance and management and the provision of means tested financial assistance to a proportion of their pupils. The main activity undertaken continues to be the provision of education to children and young people from the ages of 3-18 through our Schools. The Schools offer sector-leading, rounded education, with a broad curriculum, strong academic results, comprehensive pastoral care and a varied and extensive range of co-curricular activities. This all-round approach gives every student the opportunity to excel.
