Stock Photo - 1963 - What Next For Prince Charles? A Multi-Racial College?: Atlantic College is school for sixth-formers only run on Gordonstoun lines and situated in beautiful old (Elizabethan/medieval plus additions) St. Donat's Castle on the Welsh coast between Swansea and Cardiff. It is multi-national, multi-racial, includes all creeds. Its aim is to provide a base from which boys from different countries can eventually go to any University they choose - in Europe or the world - without the current language problem and the verying standards of education everywhere. Emphasis is on languages. Each boy has to learn at least two foreign languages as well as studying his own. He learns basic problems of philosophy, and of science, including biology, whether these are their main subjects or not. A broad, rather than a specialised education is given. And like Gordonstoun the College concentrates on physical fitness: climbing, sailing canoeing as well as run-of-thee mill sports. Unhelpfulness, says the prospectus, is increasing today,and teaching boys to be physically fit and to know the techniques of physical adventure in company with others can make them realize a sense of obligation to a community and to individuals. And this must make some contribution to world peace. Hence the rescue services which the school teaches; beach rescue, canoe life guard, cliff rescue etc. 'Nothing convinces so much as does the saving of life that the common humanity of man is more important than race of colour'. So runs the Atlantic College prospectus. This is the school which speculators think Prince Charles may progress to from Gordonstoun. Here he would meet boys from all lands and backgrounds (60% of the pupils are State-aided) absorbing a wide, liberal education before his university years. The Queen and Prince Philip will visit the school with its 150 pupils under Headmaster Rear Admiral D.J. Hoare at the end of this month. (Credit Image: © Keystone Pictures USA/ZUMAPRESS.com)
