Eton College is a prestigious independent boarding school for boys aged 13 to 18, located in the United Kingdom. It is not a university but a private secondary school, often referred to as a ‘public school’ in British terminology. The term ‘public school’ in the UK historically denotes elite, fee-charging institutions, not state-funded ones.
Founded in 1440, Eton operates independently of government control and relies on tuition fees, donations, and endowments. It is renowned for its academic excellence, historic traditions, and notable alumni, including British prime ministers and royalty.
