What is private school?

A private school is an independent school that is not run by the government. This means it's not publicly funded (at least not to the same extent as public schools). Private schools rely on tuition fees, endowments, and donations to operate. They often have smaller class sizes, more specialized programs, and different admission requirements than public schools. Because of their funding model, they can also have more flexibility in their curriculum and educational approaches. There's a wide range of private schools, from religious schools to secular schools, and from highly selective academies to smaller, more specialized institutions.
