Being able to interact with people of different ages and cultures and getting to live so close to the beautiful Edinburgh city centre as well as living on the school grounds are some of the many perks of being an ESMS boarder.

After school most of the boys and girls take part in a number of the vast array of sporting and artistic opportunities available to them at school. All boarders automatically have membership to our Sports Centres, which include AstroTurf pitches, a 25m swimming pool and tennis, badminton and basketball courts. Boarders aged 16 and over can also use our state-of-the-art fitness suite.
At the weekends, boarders attend planned activities such as skiing, climbing, surfing, ten pin bowling and trips to the cinema. In their leisure time, the children can relax in purpose built break-out areas and relaxation spaces equipped with the entertainment technology children and teenagers appreciate.
Flexi-boarding at ESMS
For those families who require a little more flexibility, we also offer flexi-boarding where pupils can stay at the Boarding House from a minimum of two nights per week, per term. The best way to find out more is to get in touch and speak to our Housemaster, David Roxburgh by email or phone 0131 311 1305.
