| | Private school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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, and wider opportunities in fields such as sport, drama and music. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Parents send children to private schools in Australia for many reasons: primarily prestige (and the social status of the 'old school tie') a perceived higher quality of education, to remove the distractions of co-education, boarding facilities, or more strict discipline. |
