Q. What's the difference between a 'private' school and an 'independent' school?

A. They are practically speaking the same thing because both private and independent schools are non-public schools. In other words they are schools which are funded by their own resources, not by tax dollars.
The subtle distinction between a private and an independent school has to do with the legal structure of each. An independent school has a truly independent board of governors or trustees. A private school can theoretically be part of another entity such as a for profit corporation or a not for profit organization such as a church or synagogue.

Q. How do I pay for a private education?

A. Depending on your financial situation a variety of options are available. We offer limited scholarships so that families which otherwise might not be able to afford a private education can do so.

Q. How do I choose the right school for my child?

A. Finding the best private school is all about getting the 'fit' right. Why? Because your child's happiness and future academic well-being are at stake. Getting the right fit will make the difference between success and failure. Start by dividing the process into five steps. It will make things easier to organize.

1. Discuss what your requirements are.
2. Decide what kind of school you want.
3. Deal with any special needs.
4. Gather the information.
5. Visit the schools.
