Private schools, also known as independent schools, non-governmental, or nonstate schools and are not administered by local, state or national governments. All private schools for girls or boys retain the right to select their students and are funded in whole or in part by charging their students tuition, rather than relying on mandatory taxation through public (government) funding. At some private schools students may be able to get a scholarship, which makes the cost cheaper, depending on a talent the student may have (e.g. sport scholarship, art scholarship, academic scholarship), financial need, or tax credit scholarships that might be available. Some well reputed private schools for girls in Lahore are:
