private schools
Fee-based education venues
Private schools are educational institutions funded by tuition and private sources rather than government money.
They set their own admission standards, curricula, and policies, often emphasizing academic rigor, religious instruction, or specialized approaches.
The term usually implies exclusivity and expense: They sent their children to private school.
In British usage, confusingly, the most elite private schools are called public schools.
