separate schools
Divided learning institutions
Separate schools are publicly funded religious schools operating alongside secular public schools, particularly in Canadian provinces where constitutional provisions guarantee denominational education rights.
In Ontario, separate schools are Catholic; in some provinces, Protestant boards also exist.
The term reflects the historical division of public education along religious lines rather than racial segregation.
