Eton College. Eton College is a 13-18 independent boarding school and sixth form for boys in the parish of Eton, near Windsor in Berkshire, England.
It was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI as Kynge's College of Our Ladye of Eton besyde Windesore, as a sister institution to King's College, Cambridge, making it the 18th-oldest Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference school. Eton's history and influence have made Eton one of the most prestigious schools in the world.
Following the public school tradition, Eton is a full boarding school, which means pupils live at the school seven days a week, and it is one of only four such remaining single-sex boys', boarding-only independent senior schools in the United Kingdom. The remainder have since become co-educational: Rugby, Charterhouse, Westminster, and Shrewsbury.
