a private educational institution that operates independently of government control, often funded by tuition fees, donations, and endowments
What is an "independent school"?
An independent school is a type of private school that is not controlled by local or national government authorities. It is funded through tuition fees paid by families, along with donations and other private sources. Independent schools have the freedom to set their own curriculum, policies, and educational approach. They are not required to follow the same regulations as public schools, which allows them to offer specialized programs, smaller class sizes, and more flexibility in their teaching methods. These schools are often selective in their admissions process and may focus on academic excellence, arts, or other specific areas.
