parochial education
Religious institutional learning
Parochial education is schooling provided by religious institutions, especially Catholic schools.
The term comes from parish—a local church community—though it now covers religious schools more broadly.
Parochial schools typically combine standard academic curriculum with religious instruction and may require uniforms, chapel attendance, or theology classes: She attended parochial school through eighth grade.
