parochial schools
Church-run learning institutions
Parochial schools are private schools operated by religious organizations, most commonly the Catholic Church.
The term comes from parish, the basic unit of church organization, and these schools traditionally served children from the local parish community.
Parochial schools typically combine standard academic curriculum with religious instruction and often require students to attend Mass or chapel services.
