Hymers College is a co-educational private day school in Kingston upon Hull, located on the site of the old Botanical Gardens.

[2] Presently, Hymers educates around 1000 pupils aged 3–18 across the Pre-School, Junior and Senior Schools, with about 100 members of the teaching staff.

"[3] Although an infelicity in the wording of the will rendered the bequest invalid, his brother and heir, Robert Hymers, voluntarily granted the sum of £50,000 to establish the school.

In 1946 Hymers became a "direct grant" school, with many pupils being paid for by the local authority, in a similar system to today's academies.

There is a system of academic tracking, so that pupils attending Hymers Hessle Mount do not need to take the entrance exam for entry to the Junior School.

There has been a steady development of buildings and facilities, including design and technology workshops, art studios, language resource rooms, and IT suites.

"[7] Hymers College is the best performing school in the East Riding in terms of examination results and league-table position, consistently producing an A2 Level pass rate of 99% (updated 2014 figure).

In more recent years the school has produced teams in a wide range of sports, reaching national finals in athletics, girls' hockey, tennis, badminton, and fencing.

The school is supported by a non-profit association, primarily run by parents and Old Hymerians, which host events and provide some funding for new facilities.

The HCA is a forty-year-old organization, whose primary purpose is to raise funds for the support, expansion and development of the school.

[10] It runs a number of annual fundraising events, including a summer Garden Party, Christmas market, second hand uniform sales, and Junior School discos and plays.
