  Independent school (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some schools (often called "grammar schools") were sponsored by towns or villages or by guilds; others by cathedrals for their choir.
By the late 19th century, public schools were characterized not so much by the way the schools were governed or the students educated as by a very specific ethos of student life often celebrated or parodied in the novels of the day.
University College School, founded in 1830 as part of University College London, was unique in that it neither took boarders nor gave religious education; indeed, by not limiting its intake to a specific religious denomination, it gained the claim of being the first truly "public" school, open to all.

 Boarding school - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Boarding school involves the combination of the residing of pupils at an institution away from their family and home, and the instruction and endowment of education to students at the same place.
Pupils may be sent to boarding schools between the ages of two and eighteen; they can be sent to any number of specific types of boarding schools, from nursery boarding schools (or Kindergarten boarding schools) to senior preparatory boarding schools.
Most societies decline to take boarding schools as the preferred option for the upbringing of their children, except in British societies or in its former colonies; in England, India, and former African colonies of Great Britain, for example, boarding schools are one of the preferred modes of education.

 Private School Encyclopedia, Definition, History, Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
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.
Tuition at private secondary schools varies from school to school and depends on many factors, including the location of the school, the willingness of parents to pay, peer tuitions, and the endowment.
Generally called independent schools because of their freedom to operate outside of government regulation, private schools are favoured by a significant minority of parents because of their frequent achievement of academic standards higher than those of the state sector.

 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).
