What are Private Schools or Independent Schools?
Private schools, or independent schools, are schools not administered by local, state, or national government, and therefore have the privilege to select their own student body. They are generally funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition and are not reliant on public (state) funds.
Private school education in North America covers the the whole spectrum of educational activities and ranges from pre-school to tertiary level institutions. Information relating to these educational activities is provided on our private schools web network and every effort is made to ensure that information is current and relevant.
Secondary Private Schools
Secondary level education includes schools offering grades 7 through 12 and grade 13. This category includes preparatory schools or "prep schools", boarding schools and day schools. Tuition fees at private secondary schools varies from school to school and is dependent on various factors including, the location of the school, the standard of boarding and school facilites, the quality of education provided, the availability of sports programmes,and the availability of grants and bursaries. Some private schools also provide boarding facilities for students.
Religion Affiliated Schools
Religiously affiliated or denominational schools form a different category of private schools. Some of the schools teach religious lessons in class as well as the usual academic subjects while other schools use religion as more of a general label to adhere to the original denomination of the founders of the schools. Many educational alternatives, such as independent schools, are also privately financed. Private schools are often not subject to all state regulations.
Trade or Vocational Schools
Trade or vocational schools are also usually private schools where students are trained for their future occupations. Trade schools exist in a variety of occupations from cosmetology schools to schools for the performing arts.
