Parochial educational institutions
Religious schools are educational institutions operated by or affiliated with a religious organization, incorporating faith-based teaching alongside standard curriculum.
They range from Catholic parochial schools to Jewish day schools to Islamic madrasas.
Parents choose them for religious instruction, moral formation, or perceived academic rigor: She attended religious school through eighth grade.
In some contexts, religious school refers specifically to supplementary education like Sunday school or Hebrew school rather than full-time academics.
