Duke of York's Royal Military School

The '''Duke of York's Royal Military School, in Guston, Kent, commonly known as the Duke of York's''', is a co-educational academy with military tradition for students aged 11 to 18.

In 2010, the school became an academy under the Ministry of Defence and accepts applications from any student wishing to enroll, in a change from the school's tradition of only accepting the children of veterans and/or serving members of the armed forces.

This break with tradition had the effect of transforming the school into a state boarding school and offered it a membership in the State Boarding Forum and Boarding Schools Association. The latter development yet once again changed the school's oversight and transferred it from the Ministry of Defence to the Department for Education.

The curriculum employed by The Duke of York’s includes some military traditions, such as the use of uniforms and ceremonial parades, however the School does employ a monitorial style of education modelled on the English public school system. Provided by Wikipedia
