Stewart's Melville College (SMC) is all-boys' private day school in Edinburgh, Scotland. Classes are all boys in the 1st to 5th years and co-educational in Sixth (final) year. It has a roll of about 750 pupils.
The modern Stewart's Melville College arose through the merger of Daniel Stewart's College and Melville College in 1972. Daniel Stewart's College was designed by architect David Rhind and opened as Daniel Stewart's Hospital in 1848, being renamed to Daniel Stewart's College in 1870. Melville College opened as the Edinburgh Institution for Languages and Mathematics in 1832, and acquired its final name in 1936.
Managed by the Merchant Company of Edinburgh, Stewart's Melville is twinned with the Mary Erskine School (MES), an all-girls independent school in Ravelston, Edinburgh. The combined Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools (ESMS) share a co-educational Sixth Year and Junior School, split between the school's two campuses, which cater for pupils between 3-12, and 17-18 years old, respectively. Many sports, performing arts, and extra-curricular activities are run jointly.
From 2026-27 academic year, the schools will merge to form the co-educational Erskine Stewarts Melville.
