Britain has some of the best known schools in the world, especially its public schools which are really elite private fee-paying schools schools. Some of the public schools date to the 16th century. Some have even older origins. Quite a number, however, date to the 19th century when Britain was expanding its educational system to train
administrators and technicials for its huge overseas empire. It was at this time that preparatory schools began to appear. Public schools originzlly taught boys of varying age, some quite young. Public schools could be very rough places, especially for younger boys.
Educators by the early 19th century increasing realized that the educational needs of the younger boys required a school specifical suited for their needs. Thus the preparatory school was created, a school designed to prepare boys for the public schools.

Some readers asked why not put the active E--Mail page on each page rather than just on this page. We know that it is an inconvience to have to navigate here. The answer is very simple. If we put our e-mail address on each page, which we did at first, then we would have to change every single page if and when our e-mail address changed--a process that would take years. This way we can simply make the change here. Quite a differece! Also the links above provide other ways of obtaining answers to your questions that you may find useful.
If the above pages don't provide you the needed information. Feel free to contact the HBC webmasters by E--Mail. We know that some of the posted addresses on older HBC pages are our old address. We are working to correct that problem. Click below and an e-mail composition message will come with the correct address.
