Christian school
A Christian school is a religious school run on Christian principles or by a Christian organization. These schools often include religious education and worship in their curriculum. They may also have a distinct Christian mission or philosophy.
The nature of Christian schools varies enormously from country to country, according to the religious, educational, and political cultures. In some countries, there is a strict separation of church and state, so all religious schools are private; in others, there is an established church whose teachings form an integral part of the state-operated educational system; in yet others, the state subsidizes religious schools of various denominations.
Traditionally, many Christian denominations have seen providing catechesis as a necessary part of the educational formation of children; the Emmanuel Association of Churches, a Methodist denomination in the conservative holiness movement teaches, for example:
It is our avowed conviction that the responsibility of molding the hearts and minds of our children is assigned by God primarily to the parents. In order to properly obey this Biblical injunction, we must provide a guarded Christian education for our children and young people. This may be accomplished either by the local church maintaining a Christian day school or by an association of Christian parents who, through a chosen board, employ Christian teaches that are qualified to educate children spiritually and intellectually in the light of God's Word.―Principles of Holy Living, Emmanuel Association of Churches
To this end, Christian Churches have established schools around the world.
In the United States, religion is generally not taught by state-funded educational systems, though schools must allow students wanting to study religion to do so as an extracurricular activity, as they would with any other such activity.
Over 4 million students, about 1 child in 12, attend religious schools, most of them Christian.
There is great variety in the educational and religious philosophies of these schools, as might be expected from the large number of religious denominations in the United States.
