A liberal education, as practised in certain private high schools, refers to a type of education that emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity, and a broad understanding of various subjects.
This approach to education is designed to prepare students for success in higher education and in their future careers by providing them with a well-rounded foundation in a variety of subjects, including the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
Private high schools that offer a liberal education often have a strong focus on independent learning and encourage students to take initiative and explore their interests through a range of extracurricular activities and programs.
