Eton College, usually referred to as Eton, is a British independent boarding
school located in Eton, near Windsor in England. It educates over 1,300 pupils,
aged between 13 to 18 years and was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as "The
King's College of Our Lady of Eton besides Wyndsor."
Eton is one of nine English independent schools, commonly referred to as
"public schools", included in the original Public Schools Act 1868. Following
the public school tradition, Eton is a full boarding school, which means all
pupils live at the school, and is one of four such remaining single-sex boys'
public schools (the others being Winchester College, Harrow School and Radley
College) to continue this practice.
Eton has also educated generations of British and foreign aristocracy, and for
the first time, members of the Royal family, Prince William and his brother
Prince Harry, in contrast to the Royal tradition of male education at either
naval college or Gordonstoun, or by Palace tutors.
