John McGlashan College is a state integrated boarding and day school for boys, located in the suburb of Maori Hill in Dunedin, New Zealand. The school currently caters for 532[2] students from years 7 to 13, including 120 boarders and up to 30 international students.[3][dead link]

The school is named after John McGlashan, a significant Presbyterian lawyer, politician, public servant and educationalist, and was founded after his daughters' gift of the family home and estate in 1918 on the provision that a Presbyterian school was established for boys.[4] Originally established as a Presbyterian private school, John McGlashan College integrated into the state system in 1989.[5][dead link]
