An independent school is a school which is independent in terms of its finances and governance; it is not dependent upon national or local government for financing its operations nor reliant on taxpayer contributions, and is instead funded by a combination of tuition charges, gifts, and in some cases the investment yield of an endowment. It is governed by a board of directors that is elected by an independent means and a system of governance that ensures its independent operation.

  • An independent school is a school which is independent in terms of its finances and governance; it is not dependent upon national or local government for financing its operations nor reliant on taxpayer contributions, and is instead funded by a combination of tuition charges, gifts, and in some cases the investment yield of an endowment. It is governed by a board of directors that is elected by an independent means and a system of governance that ensures its independent operation. It may receive government funds. However, its board must be independent. The terms independent school and private school are often synonyms in popular usage outside the United Kingdom. Independent schools may have a religious affiliation, but the more precise usage of the term excludes parochial and other schools if there is a financial dependence upon, or governance subordinate to, outside organizations. These definitions generally apply equally to primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education institutions. In The Netherlands over two-thirds of state-funded schools operate autonomously, with many of these schools being linked to faith groups. The Programme for International Student Assessment, coordinated by the OECD, ranks the education in the Netherlands as the 9th best in the world as of 2008, being significantly higher than the OECD average. In Sweden, pupils are free to choose a private school and the private school gets paid the same amount as municipal schools. Over 10% of Swedish pupils were enrolled in private schools in 2008. Sweden is internationally known for this innovative school voucher model that provides Swedish pupils with the opportunity to choose the school they prefer.
  • Yksityiskoulu on koulu, jonka omistaa jokin julkisyhteisöistä riippumaton yksityinen taho. Monissa maissa yksityiskoulu voi rahoittaa toimintansa kokonaan tai osittain lahjoituksin tai oppilailta keräämällään lukukausimaksulla, mutta joissain maissa ne saattavat nauttia julkista tukea. Yksityiskoulut ovat usein valikoivia oppilaidensa suhteen ja monissa maissa niiden katsotaan tarjoavan parempaa koulutusta kuin valtion omistamien koulujen. Nimestään huolimatta yksityiskoulut ovat usein taloudellisesti täysin riippuvaisia julkisista varoista ja erityisesti investointeihin ne tarvitsevat yleensä julkista rahoitusta tai erityisiä rahankeräyksiä.
  • インデペンデント・スクール（、独立学校）とは、私立学校の一種。運営のための財源を国や地方自治体に（厳密には宗教団体にも）頼らず、授業料、寄付、時には寄付の投資の利子で補っている。日本語の独立学校は企業や障害者の独立援助をする学校を意味することが多いが、インデペンデント・スクールとは文字通りの「独立している学校」という意味である。
  • Friskole er et norsk begrep som kortvarig ble brukt (2003–2007) om privatskoler som ble drevet etter den såkalte friskoleloven. Friskolene var privateid, f. eks. organisert som stiftelsen. Staten bidro likevel med et betydelig tilskudd til driften. Dette skilte dem fra andre typer privatskoler. Tilskuddet tilsvarer 85 % av tilskuddsgrunnlaget, som er beregnet ut fra kostnadene per elev i den offentlige skolen. Det tar ikke høyde for alle omkostningene ved å drive skole, bare slike som lønn og materiell. Friskoleordningen av 2003 ble innført etter endringer i friskoleloven, primært § 2-1, hvor det fremgår at kravet til formål i privatskoleloven § 3 er fjernet. Den borgelige samarbeidsregjeringen innførte ordningen. Høsten 2005 ble det etablert ca. 15 000 videregående skoleplasser ved friskoler i Norge. Jens Stoltenbergs andre regjering, som overtok samme høst, har en langt mer restriktiv holdning til friskoler enn den foregående regjeringen som bestod av. Begrepet friskoler opphørte å eksistere etter at den nye privatskoleloven trådte i kraft 1. juli 2007. Nå er begrepet privatskoler igjen innført også for norske privatskoler som er godkjent av departementet som skoler med rett til statsstøtte. Generelt kan en si at privatskoler er svært omdiskutert i ulike politiske leire i Norge. Reguleringene (lover og forskrifter) har en tendens til å bli forandret hver gang regjeringsmakten skifter mellom de to hovedleire, sosialistisk og borgerlig. Det er derfor lite stabilitet og vanskelig å drive privatskole i Norge.
  • Friskola, egentligen fristående skola, är en skola med annan ägare än stat, landsting eller kommun. Svenska friskolor är skattefinansierade med skolpeng. En skola som helt eller delvis finansieras med elevavgifter kallas privatskola.
  • 独立学校（independent school）是指不依赖国家或地方政府拨款，而依赖学费收入或捐赠而运作的学校。在美国和加拿大，独立学校是私立学校的同义词。独立学校可能从属于宗教机构，但是该术语更精确的用法则排除了教会学校或其他经济上依靠外部机构的学校。
