Ampleforth College is a co-educational fee-charging boarding and day school in the English boarding school tradition. It opened in 1802 as a boys' school. It is located near the village of Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, England,[1] on the grounds of Benedictine monastery Ampleforth Abbey. The school is located in the heart of a valley with state-of-the-art sports pitches, wooded areas, and lakes. The school holds the oldest purpose-built school theatre in the United Kingdom, a dedicated student pub, and its own infirmary.
The school is known as the Catholic Eton[2] and has boarding fees of £43,290 per annum.[3]
