	Informat.io on Private School (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Private schools, or independent schools, are schools not administered by local, state, or national government, which retain the right to select their student body and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition rather than with public (state) funds.
		Generally called independent schools because of their freedom to operate outside of government regulation, private schools are favoured by a significant number of parents because of their academic standards, which are often higher than those found in the state sector, and wider opportunities in fields such as sport, drama and music.
		Independent primary schools are called preparatory schools, preparing pupils not for admission to a university as in the United States, but to an independent secondary school (the Common Entrance Exam).

	history
		In 1948 eight local private schools banded together to form one of the first high school soccer leagues in the area.
		A number of the schools had been competing informally and a structured league was desireable.
		The Improvement Plate, first established in 1986, and renamed The Fritz Weidergott Improvement Trophy in 1997 in honor of longtime St. Mark’s soccer coach and leader in the ISL Fritz Weidergott, is awarded to that team which improves its standing in the league by the most number of points from one season to the next.

	UK Independent School League Table
		Secondary school league tables are to be abolished in Wales, almost a decade after they first appeared.
		Instead schools will publish their own results in their prospectuses and governors' annual reports, which parents will be able to compare with average figures for schools in the area and nationally.
		The so-called "school league tables" have caused controversy since the government started to publish them in 1993, and three quarters of the responses to a recent consultation paper favoured abolishing them.

	Groton School - Student Review
		Although not officially sanctioned by the Independent School League, I was a member of both the street and pool skateboard teams.
		As you consider boarding schools you may not think attending a school with tradition is important to you (I'm sure I would have thought that).
		I think the school has developed a lot in these areas since I graduated (e.g., new buildings for visual arts and theater), so my views on these subjects is definitely not as valid as those of recent graduates.
