As usual a very interesting video. It really is a window into another world. Canada has some wonderful independent schools but nothing like Eton. We chose to send our daughter to a Catholic independent school here in Vancouver although we are an Anglican family. She has told me she really enjoyed the experience.
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections Appleby College in Oakville just outside of Toronto may be even a closer match to Eton. I believe that Upper Canada College has or had a requirement that one must be from a military-based family in order to apply. However that may not now be the case.
That's a very interesting video ! I wanted to know a little more about private schools abroad, because I am in a private Catholic school in France and it's not very different, but we start at 3 and finish at 18 years old, and boys and girls are mixed. Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect...😅
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections In most school selection processes it helps to stand out. Other than outsanding grades and reputible parents and the whole process. With work, projects, charities, and your own personal story. What has Eton seen before, and more importantly what has Eton never seen before. Personal connection with an interiewer or house master may be helpful. Most of this for a ten year old to teen would be unusual. Though Eton feels like a different entity entirely, but it can't hurt.
Interesting listening. So your accent is an Eton accent? In what way would you say your accent has changed during Eton years and what kind of accent did you speak before attending prep schools and Eton?
You can't differentiate an Etonian accent. ... At 13 their accents are partially set, and different. They mostly end up with a fairly affluent-sounding RP. But it isn't different from the accent of a boy from Winchester, Harrow, or Charterhouse.
When I first learnt of Eton College at the age of twelve I must admit I initially hated the whole idea of it. I couldn't believe a small number of boys of my age were going to have such an education. I did not want to believe, and could not believe, that such an education was going to continue for my generation too. Just as it had done so for countless generations of boys before us. I couldn't understand why all the adults and wider society wanted it to continue. I couldn't understand why Eton College had not been and wasn't going to be abolished. Could not the adults see how unfair and unjust it was? Couldn't they see how wrong it was to give a first class education to one boy and a second rate education to another boy? Couldn't they see how such schools were going to perpetuate inequality between us as children? That the class system was going to continue if you give to some boys an advantage and privilege within education. It is difficult to explain, and as a teenager I never thought I would say this, but as you become older you slowly (if somewhat grudgingly and quite reluctantly) begin to see and to understand for yourself the important role a public school like Eton College plays in education. You begin to understand and to acknowledge the invaluable and incalculable role such a School plays in educating every generation. Even those in my age group. Above all else you also begin to see how special it would be if all of this now continued. Not only for the next generation, but also for the many, many boys who will follow them.
This class education only suits a small privileged elite. who does this benefit , as you gave a strange ambiguous response whuch sounded more like a guilty conscience to begin with. The problem with this type of education it does nt not expose any of those who experience it to qny other type of learning other than a minority born to rule. to givean example of how figures to Oxford have dropped from academy , state schools etc. Class division in eton is there and it shows.
Is There Anyway To Get Into Eton For Free??? Such as a scholarship???? I know you can get into many private schools and grammar schools with a scholarship.
Hi George, is it possible to apply for kings scholarship if you are irish/ and attend a school in ireland? I thought it was only open to British schools.thank you in advance
Well, its certainly not for the general public,lol,These are typically families of great wealth and status, they have a scholarship for poor boys, of unusual,exceptional, talent and abilities from extremely ambitious families.Some of your classmates will be members of royal families from around the world. Hence, it is extremely elitist.
@@akbarel-amin8803 , this is a lie. I go to the school, and I don't know anyone that's in a royal family there. More than 25% have huge discounts on the fees - and they do not stand out from the crowd, and neither do those who are from posh families.
hi, how smart would you say you have to be to get in? would you say that its ur genes, ur work ethic or just being financially able which allowed u to get in? thank you
You have to be above average. You need native intelligence and endeavour. If you can pay the full fee £42 000 per annum that helps. There are scholarships but these are incredibly difficult.
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections thank you for the reply, its so useful :) if you don't mind me asking, how much prep did you do before you got into eton? and how did u do it- eg.. all by yourself or ur parents helped u ...thank you!!! i appreciate it
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections Thank you very much for the reply. As an old Etonian do you have any idea what do they ask in reference from boys current school for sixth form entry and how many overseas students apply each year for sixth form entry.
@@GeorgeFromIrelandReflections It's relative to the crime comitted. There are certain things that are expected of you that you wouldn't be expected to do in any other walk of life. That being said, you wouldn't be repremanded for very a slight misdomeanor. It would also depend if the offence was done out of malice or by mistake
Can a 12 year old who has been through public school for the whole of primary school and 1 year of secondary work hard enough to be selected for a King's scholarship at Eton College
