Eton School

Eton is one the oldest public school in Great Britain. It is a single-sex school. Today is a secondary school for approximately 1,280 boys between the ages of 13 and 18, all of whom are boarders. Boys live in Houses. There about 50 boys in each House. Every House has its House Master (Магистр).
For academic purposes, the School is divided into five Blocks, from F to B. Boys normally spend one year in each block, moving up in September. On arrival in the School, a boy is assigned (назначать) a Tutor (наставник) by his House Master. The Tutor’s function is to assist House Masters in monitoring academic performance, he also fosters (способствовать) his pupils’ personal, cultural and social development. His pupils come to him in small groups once a week for a Tutorial (встреча с наставником), in which they follow a program of Study Skills, Personal-Social-Health Education and topics chosen by Tutor. When the boy becomes a Specialist, i.e. when he enters C and embarks (сдавать) on A-level work, he chooses a new Tutor. This is normally be a House Master who teaches what is likely to be the boy’s principal (основной) A-level subject. There are 37 scheduled schools (i.e. lessons) a week in which formal teaching takes place, but almost all boys have one or more reading schools (i.e. free periods). Boys are taught in divisions (i.e. sets or forms) normally containing about 10-12 boys (in a case of Specialist) and about 20 – in the case of Non-Specialists. In each block, a program of regular out-of-school work is laid down.
There are a lot of facilities in Eton. Computing (along with Design and Technology, Music, Drama and Art) forms a compulsory part of syllabus (расписание) during the first year and an optional subject thereafter. In the Design Center there are facilities for woodwork, metalwork, silverwork and electronics. A huge number of boys have music lessons and there are numerous bands, orchestras and small groups.
