Public school (Royaume-Uni)

En Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, le terme Public School désigne une école privée dont le recrutement n’est pas limité par des restrictions géographiques ni religieuses, mais par des frais généralement très élevés. En général, le terme renvoie à des écoles très anciennes et prestigieuses et non des établissements privés récents. Récemment, ce terme a évolué pour désigner plus spécifiquement des écoles privées pour des élèves âgés de 13 à 18 ans.
