In the United Kingdom and those countries where the English influence was perhaps the greatest, the term “Public School” is well understood and commonly used, albeit extremely poorly defined. Outside of those countries, the term’s use as a moniker for what are, in fact, elite private schools is a cause of great confusion – especially where schools under the management and care of the state or local authorities may be called public schools, as is the case in the United States. Moreover, even in those Commonwealth countries wherein the term is used, it is often misapplied and used as a synonym for a private school (particularly in India and Australia). However, not all private schools are Public Schools.
