Eton College

One of the largest independent secondary schools in England and one of the most prestigious. It is located near Windsor, Berkshire. It was founded by Henry VI in 1440–41, the same year he founded King's College, Cambridge. Boys enter Eton about age 13. Each year the school names about 14 new King's Scholars, for a schoolwide total of 70, based on the results of competitive examination; they are awarded scholarships ranging from 10 to 100 percent of fees. The other students, called Oppidans, number more than 1,200. Most come from England's wealthiest families.
