Princess Helena College is an independent school for girls located in the small village of Preston near Hitchin in Hertfordshire. It is housed in a Grade II* listed Queen Anne country house, which was redesigned by Lutyens, at the same time as the gardens were designed by his great friend, Gertrude Jekyll [IoE|162902] .

It was one of the first academic schools for girls, originally founded for daughters of officers who had served in the Napoleonic Wars and daughters of Anglican clergy. It is a member of the Girls' Schools Association.

The college has three types of boarder :- Full Boarder (boarding 7 times a week), Weekly Boarder (boarding 5/4 times a week) and Flexible Boarder (boarding 1 - 3 nights a week).
