There is an ancient proverb: 'it takes a village to raise a child', and our ESMS Community is very much like a village of people who happily give their skills, experience and opportunities to help our pupils and younger alumni enjoy the fruits of a first-class education.

This help can be as simple as an offer of work experience or mentoring guidance.  It can also be as profound and life-changing as an entire education: many of our pupils attend our schools thanks to generous financial support from our benefactors.

We have bold plans to grow what our Community has to offer, and to create even more transformational opportunities for young people.  We invite you to join us and make an impact as a member of our thriving educational village, in any way that you wish.

What's on

…underpinning all these positive feelings I have about Stewart’s Melville there is one very powerful emotion: gratitude. I am profoundly grateful to the assistance that allowed me to attend the school. Without it, I would not have been able to. I was too young at the time to realise what a gift I had, and to articulate my thanks for it. But I see now. I really do.
