Ashville College is a co-educational independent school for both day and boarding pupils aged 4–18 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. It was founded as a Methodist boarding school for boys in 1877, and subsequently merged with Elmfield College and New College in the 1930s. It now thrives as the oldest independent school in Harrogate, although in its native England it is sometimes classed as a Public School, being set up when most education was organised privately, in the home, rather than being available to anyone who could afford the fees. It is now open to non-Methodists and to those of non-Christian religions.

Famous quotes containing the word college:
“The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
