More than 1,200 boys, from 12 through 18 years old, live and study at Eton College. Eton offers courses in such subjects as ancient history, divinity, Greek, Latin, modern languages, mathematics, and science. Each student is assigned a tutor who provides assistance and instruction outside of classes.
King Henry VI founded Eton in 1440 for 70 Scholars and up to 20 Oppidans. Scholars, most of whom were poor, received scholarships and lived in the college. Oppidans came from prosperous families and paid for their room and board in the town of Eton. Today, all students live at the college. The word Oppidan now refers to a student who pays fees for his education. Most Eton students are Oppidans.
