Catholic schools
Faith-based private academies
Catholic schools are educational institutions operated by or affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, from elementary through university level.
They typically combine standard academic curricula with religious instruction, mass attendance, and moral formation rooted in Catholic doctrine.
In the United States, Catholic schools form the largest private school network: She went to Catholic school through eighth grade.
They often require uniforms and maintain reputations for strict discipline, whether or not students are Catholic themselves.
