Yes, sorry, that was what I meant. No one without a scholarship would be living in College at Eton, but some people who are very rich as well as very clever just take the title of Scholar and still pay the full whack. I believe the son of the Duke and Duchess of Kent was a Kings Scholar, but for obvious reasons they didn't accept any reduction on the fees.

I have to say I am in awe of an IQ of 190 - I didn't realize that was achievable! Still not sure that either Eton or Winchester is the best place for such a bright boy, though. Just because a school costs lots of money doens;t mean it's capable of dealing with a child with a beyond genius IQ - he'l lprobably be one of a kind wherever he goes.

Good luck whatever you decide to do. There are no wrong decisions when you have such a good choice.
