parish schools
Congregation-run educational institutions
Parish schools are schools operated by a religious parish, typically Catholic, providing education alongside religious instruction.
In the United States, they form the backbone of Catholic education, offering an alternative to public schools: She attended parish school through eighth grade.
The term sometimes appears in historical contexts referring to early public schools in Louisiana and Scotland that were organized by civil parishes.
