Independent School
An independent school is independent in its finances and governance. Also known as private schools, non-governmental, privately funded, or non-state schools, they are not administered by local, state or national governments. In British English, an independent school usually refers to a school which is endowed, i.e. held by a trust, charity, or foundation, while a private school is one that is privately owned.

Children who attend such schools may be there because they (or their parents) are dissatisfied with government-funded schools (in UK state schools) in their area.
