	Independent school (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Independent schools are entirely free to select their own pupils (subject to the general legislation against various forms of discrimination).
		A public school (in the independent sense) usually teaches children from the ages of 11 (for girls) or 13 (for boys) to 18, and was traditionally a single-sex boarding school, although many now accept day pupils and are coeducational.
		Amongst the oldest independent schools in the UK are (chronologically):

	Independent school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though the terms independent school and private school are often synonyms in popular usage in the U.S. and in Canada, independent schools themselves have increasingly come to favor the former term.
		Catholic schools, which are usually more accessible with lower fees, also make up a sizeable proportion of Australian independent schools, and are usually regarded as a school sector of their own within the broad category of independent schools.
		The essential distinction between independent schools and other private schools is independence itself, essentially independence in governance and in finance: i.e., independent schools own, govern, and finance themselves, as opposed to government (public) and other private schools (parochial/diocesan) where the state or the church owns, governs, and finances the school.

	Private_school
		Private schools, or independent schools, are schools not administered by local 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 amount of parents because of their frequent achievement of academic standards higher than those of the state sector.
		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.

	Independent School Choices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Prep schools tend to include the introduction of foreign languages from an early age, stream pupils by ability so that the brightest are not held back and slower learners are given more time, test progress on a regular basis, set higher expectations and provide a longer teaching day than in state primary schools.
		Schools will be inspected by either Ofsted or by the Independent Schools Inspectorat (in the case of a school being a member of an association within the Independent Schools Council).
		Schools are evaluated on their educational standards (including attainment, learning and behaviour), quality of teaching, assessment and recording, curriculum and extra-curricular activities, staffing, premises and resources, links with parents and the community, pupils’ personal development and pastoral care, management, efficiency, aims and ethos.

	Independent/public/boarding schools in the uk (britain, england).
		Schools are often single-sex boys schools or girls schools, although many boys schools accept girls in the sixth form (between the ages of 16 and 18).
		The expression "public school" can be confusing: in many countries other than England a "public school" is a school which is run by the government, which is not the case with these schools.
		Most of these schools are mixed sex (some are single sex), and they usually cater for students between the ages of 11 and 18 (some take students from the age of 7, or only up to the age of 16).

		Although many of the Scottish independent schools are members of the ISC they are also represented by the Scottish Independent Schools Council (SISC) which is the body recognised by the Scottish Parliament as the body representing independent schools in Scotland.
		Unlike England all Scottish independent schools are subject to the same regime of inspections by HM Inspectorate of Education as local authority schools and they have to register with the Scottish Executive Education Department.
		Unlike the state sector, a child may be expelled under the school´s statutes, at the sole discretion of the Head with a view to the wider interests of the school: the most usual causes being drug-taking, whether at school or away, dishonesty or some other notorious rejection of the school´s values.

	Articles - Public schools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In most English-speaking nations, a public school is a school that is financed and run by the government and does not charge tuition fees in which children attend.
		The schools and their representative associations prefer the term "independent schools", but the news media in England and common usage often refer to them by the traditional name of "public schools".
		Public school is normally split up into three stages: Primary (Elementary) School (Kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade), Junior High School (6th or 7th to 8th or 9th) and High School (9th or 10th to 12th), with some less populated communities incorporating high school as 7th to 12th.

	Independent School Associations

	Independent Schools Directory
		An independent school is a school which is not dependent upon national or local government for financing its operation and is instead operated by tuition charges, gifts, and perhaps the investment yield of an endowment.
		An independent school and a private school are essentially the same thing, i.e., a non-public entity.
		In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the more prestigious independent schools are known as public schools.
