Page "Private school" Paragraph 3

Religiously affiliated and denominational schools form a subcategory of private schools.

Some such schools teach religious education, together with the usual academic subjects to impress their particular faith's beliefs and traditions in the students who attend.

Others use the denomination as more of a general label to describe on what the founders based their belief, while still maintaining a fine distinction between academics and religion.

They include parochial schools, a term which is often used to denote Roman Catholic schools.

Other religious groups represented in the K-12 private education sector include Protestants, Jews, Muslims and the Orthodox Christians.
