Eton College is a charity for the advancement of education. At its heart sits an
independent boys’ boarding school which leads a dynamic range of educational
activities and an expanding network of educational partnerships. The charity’s
primary purpose, determined from its Christian foundation in 1440, is to draw
out the best of young people’s talents and to enable them to flourish and make a
positive impact on others through the course of a healthy, happy and fulfilling
life. In advancing this purpose, Eton is committed to an ethos which: encourages
creativity, individuality, innovation and enjoyment through a broad vision of
education based on wide-ranging academic and co-curricular opportunities;
enables boys to develop a strong understanding of themselves and their
capabilities, while also empathising with others through a genuine appreciation
for different people, different perspectives and different cultures; develops
enquiring minds and fosters a life-long appreciation of independent thinking and
learning; develops physical and mental health, emotional maturity and spiritual
richness; nurtures the value of leadership and service; celebrates kindness,
loyalty, gratitude, integrity and determination.
