Public School (Privately Funded) (Paperback)

, ,
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In most of the United Kingdom and in some Commonwealth countries, a public school is a traditional independent school for secondary-age pupils that is funded by a combination of endowments, tuition fees and other non-governmental funding. It does not rely on taxpayer contributions, and is independent from both central and local government control. These schools, wherever located, often follow a British educational tradition. Originally, many were single-sex boarding schools, but many are now co-educational with both boarders and day-pupils. This usage is synonymous with preparatory school in the USA, although in British English preparatory school has a different meaning. Whether a particular independent school is or is not a public school is not clearly defined, although there are some which indisputably are, and others which clearly are not. While this usage of the term public school is common in most of the United Kingdom, it can be ambiguous in Scotland, where it often refers to a publicly funded school.
