Catholic schools in the United States

Catholic schools in the United States are educational institutions operated by the Catholic Church, emphasizing academic excellence alongside moral and spiritual development rooted in Catholic teachings. They serve students of all faiths and backgrounds, providing a values-based education that integrates religion, discipline, and community service. Funding often comes from tuition, parish support, and donations, allowing them to maintain smaller class sizes and dedicated teachers. These schools aim to foster character, critical thinking, and faith, preparing students for responsible citizenship while nurturing spiritual growth within a supportive, faith-centered environment.
