Parochial schools

Parochial schools are private educational institutions affiliated with a religious organization, typically a church or parish. They provide education based on specific religious teachings and values, often integrating faith into their curriculum alongside standard academic subjects. Parochial schools usually serve students from the local community and may include elementary and secondary education. These schools are often funded through tuition, donations, and church support, and they aim to foster both academic excellence and spiritual development in their students. They can vary widely in their beliefs and practices, reflecting the particular denomination's values.
