The characteristics described in the scenario (longer teacher hours, small class sizes, private funding, setting its own standards) are all typically associated with charter schools. Voucher schools are similar in that they often receive government funding, but they provide families with vouchers to use towards tuition at any school they choose. Private schools also receive private funding, but may not necessarily have small class sizes or longer teacher hours. Religious schools have a specific religious affiliation and often prioritize teaching religious values in addition to academic subjects, which is not mentioned in the scenario.
