The English Public School

The English public school is a traditional term for historic, private secondary schools in England, often distinguished by their long-standing reputations, selective admissions, and independent governance. These schools typically offer rigorous academic programs, emphasize character development, and foster networks that can influence social and professional circles. While the term "public school" in England differs from its use in other countries (where it often refers to government-funded schools), in the UK it generally describes prestigious, often boarding, institutions with a focus on leadership, discipline, and tradition. Examples include Eton College and Harrow School.
