Ashville College is an award-winning, co-educational, independent day school for pupils aged 2–18. The college, set in 70-acres in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, comprises an Early Years provision, Prep School and Senior School and Sixth Form. The school is a registered charity, administered by Ashville College Trustees.
Ashville College was founded in 1877 as a boarding school for boys by the United Methodist Free Church. Expansion over the decades culminated in a merger with Elmfield College, Harrogate, in the 1930s, by which time Ashville was the largest private school in the north of England. In 1982 the school became co-educational and in the last five years, a new era has been established as Ashville has become a growing and successful day school confidently investing in development for the future.

An Ashville education emphasises the individual’s place within the wider community, upholding Christian values of openness and respect and imbuing a sense of social responsibility and belonging in pupils.
