Independent girls' schools are educational institutions that operate independently of government funding and control. They are often funded through tuition fees, donations, and endowments. These schools typically have the freedom to create their own curricula, teaching methods, and policies, allowing for a tailored educational experience that can focus on the unique needs of girls. Many independent girls' schools emphasize academic excellence, leadership, and personal development. They often provide a supportive environment that encourages girls to explore various subjects, participate in extracurricular activities, and develop critical thinking skills. Some well-known examples include The Spence School and The Brearley School.
