Independent schools – a broad term to describe all non-public schools including private, religious and military – educate children at various grade levels.
Schools may be operated by religious groups or by independent boards of directors according to particular educational philosophies. Families typically pay private schools directly according to fees set by the schools. Scholarships and financial aid are usually available to help defray the cost of tuition.
