St. Edward's School (known colloquially as "Teddies") is a co-educational, independent boarding school (referred to as a public school) on in the north of Oxford, England. It is one of the most famous schools in the country. It is also regarded as one of the greatest of England's Victorian public schools, and is one of the leading co-ed boarding schools in the UK.
Approximately sixty students live in each of its twelve boarding houses. The school is a member of the Rugby Group, the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, and the Oxfordshire Independent and State School Partnership. Current termly fees are: boarding, £11,890; day, £9,515.
The school teaches the GCSE and A-Level syllabuses. In 2008, the school began following the trend set by other private schools to teach the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
