• Introduction of independent school
In the United Kingdom, independent schools (also as private schools) are fee-paying private schools, governed by an elected board of governors and independent of many of the regulations and conditions that apply to state-funded schools. There are around 2,500 independent school in the UK, which educate around 615,000 children. More than 1,250 of these schools are members of the Independent Schools Council. In 2017, the average cost for private schooling was £14,102 for day school and £32,259 for boarding school.

• Why choose UK for private education?
Independent schools in the UK are recognised by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as being among the best in the world. Some independent schools are particularly historical, such as The King’s School, Canterbury (founded as part of the church on 597). There are various types of independent schools including selective and non-selective schools, single-sex or co-educational, with some of them offering the opportunity to board. The academic success that has been achieved by pupils and the focus on traditional difficult subjects attracts many parents to send their children to the independent schools in the UK. There is also great focus on the development of the whole child through a range of co-curricular activities, either in sport, art, music or drama.
