British Public Schools

British public schools are prestigious, fee-paying secondary schools in the UK, often with long histories dating back centuries. They typically serve students aged 13 to 18, emphasizing academic excellence, leadership, and character development. Many are boarding schools, fostering a close-knit community. Despite the name “public,” these schools are private and often associated with social elite. Notable examples include Eton College and Harrow School. They play a significant role in British education and culture, offering rigorous curricula and extensive extracurricular activities, and often have strong connections to universities and influential careers.
