Eton

Eton College is an independent boarding school for boys aged 13-18 founded by King Henry VI in 1440 in the parish of Eton, near Windsor, England. As one of England’s oldest and most prestigious boarding schools, it’s had the honour of educating multiple prime ministers, world leaders, Nobel laureates, and many aristocratic members of societies both past and present.

Owing to its world-class reputation, Eton College has grown from educating 70 pupils at its time of erection to up to 1,313 students in 2019. Eton-educated pupils have historically invoked the reputation of Eton College to achieve careers in positions of leadership, such as in politics. Its reputation still holds to this day, although it’s now accessible to more boys regardless of background.
