noun
Refers to a type of elite private school in the UK, not a publicly funded school. In Japanese, it is used with this British meaning.
イートン校は有名なパブリックスクールだ。
Eton College is a famous public school.
Variant with interpunct; less common in running text.
公立学校 means a publicly funded school, which is the opposite of the British 'public school' meaning of パブリックスクール.
Borrowed from English 'public school', retaining the British meaning of a fee-paying private school.
