[[File:Bombay Scottish School 1878.jpg|thumb|Bombay Scottish School in 1878]]

The''' Bombay Scottish School, Mahim''', popularly known as '''Scottish''', is a private, [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Mixed-sex education|co-educational]] [[day school]] located at [[Mahim|Mahim West]] in [[Mumbai]], India. The institution was established in 1847 by Scottish Christian [[missionary|missionaries]] under the name ''Scottish Female Orphanage''. [[Bombay Scottish School, Powai]] is an affiliate of this institution.

The school caters to pupils from [[Reception (school)|junior kindergarten]] up to class 12 and the medium of instruction is English. The school is affiliated with the [[Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations]], New Delhi, which conducts the [[Indian Certificate of Secondary Education|ICSE]] examinations at the close of class 10 and the [[Indian School Certificate|ISC]] examinations at the close of class 12. The school has been among the top 10 schools in India for the past few decades.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.educationtoday.co/et/rankings/school-rankings-2020/School-ranking-details-2020.php?id=37|title=ICSE SCHOOLS IN INDIA 2020}}</ref>

==History==
The institution was founded in 1847 at [[Byculla]] in [[Mumbai|Bombay]], [[British Raj|British India]] by a small group of Scottish missionaries as the ''Scottish Female Orphanage''. The [[orphanage]] was set up to educate the daughters of Scottish Presbyterian soldiers and Indian navy seamen. The success of the ''Scottish Female Orphanage'' led to the establishment of a similar institution for boys known as the ''Orphanage for the Sons of Presbyterians'' in 1857. In 1859, the ''Scottish Female Orphanage'' and the ''Orphanage for the Sons of Presbyterians'' were merged to form ''The Bombay Presbyterian Male and Female Orphanage''. In 1863, the name of the institution was altered to the ''Bombay Scottish Orphanage''.<ref name=Visitor-guide/> On 18 February 1867, the first general meeting of subscribers to the ''Bombay Scottish Orphanage Trust'' was held.<ref name=ewo.net>{{cite web|url=http://educationworldonline.net/index.php/page-article-choice-more-id-148|title=Institution profile of Bombay Scottish School|year=2009|publisher=EducationWorldOnline.net|access-date=17 February 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100615005644/http://educationworldonline.net/index.php/page-article-choice-more-id-148|archive-date=15 June 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The institution acquired a large plot of land adjacent to the Mahim Bay. Here a boarding school was built to impart education on the model of British schools. The school building was designed by D. E. Gostling and J. Morris and sanctioned by the Government of Bombay on 15 July 1875. The construction of the school building was commenced on 8 December 1875 by Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse, then Governor and President in Council. The construction of the ''Bombay Scottish Orphanage'' was completed on 28 February 1878 at a cost of {{INR}} 84,015. The orphanage was opened by Sir Richard Temple Bart, then Governor and President in Council on 13 April 1878. The children were shifted from Byculla to their new accommodation in the boarding school at Mahim. The orphanage relied on the public to a considerable extent for monetary funds.<ref name=Visitor-guide/>

When the orphanage was shut down and its 11th and 12th classes discontinued, its name was changed to ''The Bombay Scottish School''. In 1935, the number of students reached 100. The institution, which was intended to cater solely to the requirements of Scottish children, opened its doors to the children of English and European descent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dinesh.com/bombay_scottish_school/bombay_scottish_school/history.html|title=History of Bombay Scottish School|year=2009|publisher=Dinesh.com|access-date=27 January 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102053541/http://dinesh.com/bombay_scottish_school/bombay_scottish_school/history.html|archive-date=2 January 2010}}</ref> Today, the school is open to children from all communities. The school has a sister concern in [[Bombay Scottish School, Powai|Powai]], Mumbai which was established in 1997.<ref name=ewo.net/>

==Controversies==
On 11 May 2008, unidentified [[Shiv Sena (1966–2022)|Shiv Sena]] activists targeted the name plate of the school and blackened the word '[[Bombay]]' written on one of the school gates with [[tar]] and replaced it with '[[Mumbai]]'. The police was notified of the incident and a case was registered. Ironically, Shiv Sena chief, [[Uddhav Thackeray]]'s sons [[Aditya Thackeray|Aditya]] and Tejas as well as [[Raj Thackeray]]'s daughter Urvashi have all studied at Bombay Scottish School.

===Sexual assault allegations against a teacher===
A 40-year-old female teacher was arrested on charges of allegedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old male student on multiple occasions.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bombay Scottish Teacher Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Minor Student In 5-Star Hotels Arrested|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mumbai-police-custody-of-bombay-scottish-school-teacher-bipasha-kumar-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-student-at-5-star-hotel-extended|access-date=28 November 2025|work=Free Press Journal|issue=3 July 2025|publisher=Free Press Journal|date=2025}}</ref> However, the accused “teacher” was not associated with the institution at the time of the incident, as she had been removed a year earlier. She was later acquitted on the grounds that the engagement was consensual in nature.<ref>{{cite news |title= Court says relationship consensual, grants bail to Mumbai school teacher |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/court-says-relationship-consensual-grants-bail-to-mumbai-school-teacher/articleshow/122868580.cms |access-date=6 July 2025 |work=The Times of India |issue=2 July 2025 |publisher= The Times of India |date=2025}}</ref>
