Eton College

Eton College, often informally referred to as Eton, is an English independent boarding school located in Eton, Berkshire, near Windsor. It educates over 1,300 pupils, aged between 13 and 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 five such remaining single-sex boys' public schools in the United Kingdom to continue this practice. It has educated 19 British Prime Ministers and generations of aristocracy, and has been referred to as the chief nurse of England's statesmen.
