Welcome to Eton
Eton College is a charity dedicated to the advancement of education. As a school, we draw out young people’s talents to enable them to flourish and make a positive impact on others and the wider world, while enjoying a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.
Our school
At our heart sits a leading boys’ boarding school with a tradition of excellence, where we proudly offer a unique and outstanding education with endless opportunities.Â
Growing up in our boarding community develops personal growth and lifelong friendships in the safety of our wrap-around pastoral care, while nurturing the value of leadership and service.
We cherish Eton’s history and tradition, which combined with a willingness to innovate has seen Eton thrive for almost six centuries.Â

Endless opportunities
At Eton, boys learn as much, if not more, outside the classroom as they do inside it. The exceptional breadth and depth of our co-curriculum enables boys to tailor it to their interests, receiving professional tutelage to excel whatever their passion.Â
For all its educational benefits, our co-curriculum is also a source of fun and enjoyment within boarding life at Eton, where boys are nurtured and cared for within the Eton community.
Boys have established over 80 societies at Eton to explore their passions, hosting weekly lectures, workshops and seminars from world-renowned experts including former Prime Ministers and Presidents, Nobel Laureates, leading CEOs, academics and scientists.
“To be at a school where I can have a choir practice in the morning, rugby training in the afternoon, followed by Wall Game, a band practice and a Society talk all in one day is something one will simply not be able to do later in life.”
An Outstanding Education
Eton is at the vanguard of innovation in education, leading powerful research and cross-sector collaborations to develop expertise in teaching and learning.Â
An Eton education produces the best outcomes for our boys, developing enquiring minds and fostering a lifelong appreciation of independent thinking and learning. Our approach to the classroom draws on the most effective methods evidenced by our award-winning research centre, The Tony Little Centre for Innovation and Research in Learning (CIRL).
After Eton
We are proud of the broad range of careers Etonians go into, building on passions nurtured during their time at Eton.Â
Moving through our co-curriculum has led our boys to set the standard on the world stage, whether in sport, the Arts, entrepreneurship, the natural world or wherever else their passions lie.
We give boys a clear understanding of the world of work and the broad range of career routes to pursue, whether through Oxbridge or elsewhere. Eton Futures, our department dedicated to their lives after Eton, weaves employability into the Eton curriculum.
The thriving Old Etonian Association is a fantastic network and resource, with societies and clubs providing support all around the world in a wide range of fields.
Making an impact
Eton is committed to making a positive impact for as many young people as possible.
In partnership with Star Academies, we plan to open three sixth form colleges for disadvantaged students in Middlesbrough, Dudley and Oldham. Our partnership with Holyport College, an Ofsted outstanding state-maintained boarding school, is one of the strongest, closest and most reciprocal cross-sector partnerships in the UK.
Last year, Eton Connect coordinated extensive activities with partner organisations, including over 5,000 state school pupils visiting our museums and Collections, while over 7,000 state school pupils studied our EtonX courses online. Among other partnerships, we co-sponsor the London Academy of Excellence, an outstanding sixth form in Newham, East London.
