Private school
Private schools, also known as independent schools, non-governmental, or nonstate schools, are not administered by local, state or national governments; thus, they 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.
Types of private school
In the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries including Australia and Canada, the use of the term is generally restricted to primary and secondary educational levels; it is almost never used of universities and other tertiary institutions. Private education in North America covers the whole gamut of educational activity, ranging from pre-school to tertiary level institutions. Annual tuition fees at K-12 schools range from nothing at so called 'tuition-free' schools to more than $45,000 at several New England preparatory schools.

Thomas' College located in Mount Lavinia and its branches are located in Kollupitiya, Gurutalawa, Bandarawella and Trinity College, Kandy are the most prominent private schools in the island.

Plot
Christine "Chris" Ramsey (Phoebe Cates) lies in bed narrating a trashy romance novel to Betsy (Kathleen Wilhoite), her roommate at the Cherryvale Academy for Girls. Meanwhile, three students of the nearby Freemount Academy for Men, including Jim Green (Matthew Modine) and his overweight, slobbish friend Bubba (Michael Zorek), sneak into Cherryvale to peek on the girls. Jordan Leigh-Jenson (Betsy Russell), showering at the time, sees that the boys are peering at her and enlists Chris and Betsy's help to drive them away; the three boys fall off the side of the building. In response to being disturbed, the roommates light a bag of feces on fire and put it in front of Jordan's door.
About a week later, at a co-ed dance, Chris reveals that Jim is her boyfriend; as the couple are dancing, Chris tells Jim that she's decided she wants to surrender her virginity to him. After a speech by headmistress Miss Dutchbok (Fran Ryan), the band plays a slow song while Jordan dances alone and conspires against Chris. Bubba, sporting an erection from Miss Dutchbok's speech, sneaks off to the headmistress' office with Betsy to drink and have sex; however, the two are caught in the act by the headmistress and her friends. The following day, after morning aerobics, Chris books a hotel for herself and Jim.

It's Like This Place Isn't Even Real
by: Last CallI’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
I could write you another song
about how life has let me down,
or how I’ll never escape
from this dusty one-horse town.
It all might be an act.
Another thing to make myself react.
It seems so obvious now.
Man, I’m such a joke.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
This all sounds so negative.
Another thing I do to drown myself in it.
I hope you understand…
I didn’t mean to turn out this way.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
Another year stuck at twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m simply lost
in all the things that I used to mourn.
I hope you understand,
I didn’t mean to turn out this way.
I’ve been confused since I was born.
I’m gonna move on from twenty-four.
And it’s easy to see that I’m not really lost
