Eton College

[EduCativ]

Eton was founded by King Henry VI in 1440 and lies just across the river Thames from the pretty Berkshire town of Windsor most famous for its royal castle. Throughout its history, Eton has been one of the leading independent schools in the UK and it continues to provide a stimulating all-around education, coupled with academic excellence.
Eton is a boys’ boarding school with around 1,300 pupils. Our pupils join at the age of 13 (with a few joining in the sixth form) and continue right through until they are 18.
Ours is a modern, forward-thinking school that embraces new opportunities within teaching and learning. Tradition remains important and still shapes some of our guiding principles, but it is a willingness to innovate which has seen the school thrive for almost six centuries.
We offer an excellent sports and activities program enabling boys to identify and develop their skills and strengths, within a supportive environment.
We welcome talented boys, whatever their background, and can offer significant levels of financial support (up to 100% of full fees). If you’re considering sending your son here please do come and visit and experience Eton for yourselves.
At Eton, we take this responsibility extremely seriously. We care about the individual and pride ourselves in the warmth of a community in which all our pupils feel valued.
We live in exciting and fast-changing times and this means that providing an outstanding, progressive and well-rounded education is more important than ever. Of course, examination results matter, and at Eton our pupils consistently achieve excellent results in all areas of the curriculum, giving them access to the top universities in the UK and overseas. However, this is just one aspect of an Eton education, and pupils are supported to show ambition both within and beyond the classroom.
School should be fun and happy children are more likely to be successful. We see it as our responsibility to bring out our boys' talents, to broaden their interests, and to develop their personal qualities. To do this we aim to foster confidence, perseverance, tolerance, and integrity to enhance communication skills to embrace creativity to encourage teamwork, and promote an open-minded and outward-looking mentality so that boys are ready to make a positive contribution to their wider community.
Tradition is important here and still shapes some of our guiding principles but we seek to build on the past while looking to the future. This is and will remain, a forward-thinking school that enthusiastically embraces innovation and new opportunity.
