faith schools

Belief-based educational institutions

Faith schools are educational institutions affiliated with a particular religion, where religious instruction and values are integrated into the curriculum.

Common in the UK, they may be state-funded or private, and often give admissions preference to families who practice the faith.

Critics argue they promote segregation; supporters value the moral framework and academic standards.
