Eton College is a famous school in England near Windsor Castle and the River Thames. It is a very old and prestigious boarding school. Many members of the British royal family studied there.
Students live and study at the school all year. Only boys can study at Eton — girls cannot attend. Boys usually start at the age of 13 and study until they go to university.

There are many clubs at Eton called ‘societies’. Students can join clubs about music, art, astronomy and more. Sometimes famous people come to talk to the students.
