An evening with top UK schools

Eton College, Wellington College and Wycombe Abbey are widely regarded as perhaps the three most selective and popular boarding schools in the UK. 

Hosted in New York by Oppidan co-founder Henry Faber, this talk promises to get under the surface of what the UK boarding system has to offer, with a critical eye on what can be learned from the differences between US and UK systems.  

• How might we defend an exam-heavy UK curriculum? 

• What kind of student might best suit an international education? 

• Where are the similarities and differences between US and UK systems? 

• What’s the inside scoop on the UK’s tax raid on private schools? 

• Why and how are UK schools franchising around the world? 

• How might US-based families prepare for school or university in the UK? 

This talk will suit any individual with an interest in educational pedagogy and different approaches to creating great learning environments. We’ll also be looking at topical, contextually relevant issues for the wider world of education, with an eye on the power of transatlantic partnership.

Guests will include school leaders and parents. All attendees will have the chance to network with our speakers following the event over drinks and canapés.
