independent schools
Non-state educational institutions
Independent schools are private educational institutions that operate outside government control, funded primarily through tuition, endowments, and donations rather than public taxes.
In Britain, the term encompasses elite boarding schools like Eton and Harrow.
In American usage, independent schools typically distinguish themselves from parochial schools by having no religious affiliation: She attended an independent school in Connecticut.
