The Schools

A unique family of independent schools in Edinburgh for children aged 3-18

ESMS is a unique family of independent schools for children in Edinburgh offering Nursery, Primary and Secondary education. Our children are taught together from Nursery to Primary 7 after which they enjoy closely twinned senior education before joining together again in a co-educational Sixth Form.

From 2026 we will be fully co-educational, please click here to find out more about these exciting changes.
