''Private schools'' are organized similarly, though as their name implies, they are not paid for by society but by the children's parents.  Some private schools aspire to very high standards, some specialize in certain modes and topics of instruction (such as a military school), and yet others provide a place for children who need curricula not available in the public systems.
