Washington & Jefferson College (W&J) is a private, selective liberal arts college located in Washington, Pennsylvania. It owes its history to two separate institutions, Washington College and Jefferson College which merged in 1865 but both have a history dating back to the late 1700s having been founded shortly after the American Declaration of Independence. The school has long-been considered a pillar of education in Western Pennsylvania and continues that tradition today, focussed exclusively on a broad, liberal arts programme at undergraduate level only.

Wycombe Abbey School is considered to be amongst the finest examples of girls’ boarding schools in the English Public School tradition. It is often considered to be the sister school to Eton College with a reputation on a similar par. Wycombe Abbey has, historically, been one of the preferred schools for the daughters of the English aristocratic classes, however, it is a modern dynamic school that offers a broad and varied education for young women leaders.

One of England’s most-celebrated schools, Rugby School is the prototype for the English Public School model. Under the illustrious Thomas Arnold, who was headmaster of the school between 1828 and 1841, Rugby embodied the concept of muscular Christianity and came to define what an English Public School should be. With that came, also, the creation of a code of football which came to be the sport of the English Upper and Upper Middle classes – namely rugby football. Rugby, today, is an excellent fee-paying, co-educational boarding school which offers a university-preparatory education to pupils between the ages of 13 and 18. It’s associated preparatory school, Bilton Grange, completes the offer with an all-through education from the age of 3 with junior boarding as an option.
