''Private schools'', also known as ''public schools'' in Commonwealth countries as they are open to the public, are organized similarly, though they are not paid for by society but by the children's parents, thereby constituting a double expense for 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.

In the [[United Kingdom]] and many of its former colonies, the term ''public school'' actually refers to a fee-paying private institution.  The paradoxical name comes the fact that it is open to the public regardless of creed or geographical location as opposed to faith schools which required adherence to a particular religion.
