school chaplains
Educational spiritual advisors
School chaplains are religious figures—typically ordained ministers, priests, or other clergy—who serve in educational institutions, providing spiritual guidance, pastoral care, and religious education to students and staff.
They may lead worship services, offer counseling during crises, and support students regardless of faith background.
The role varies by country and institution type: common in religious schools and British public schools, rarer in American public schools due to separation of church and state.
