Definition

  • Catholic schools are among the oldest institutions in the United States, having always served as a consistently strong option to the dominant public school model of education. Catholic schools have existed in some form or another since the colonial period and have formed the educational experience of millions of Americans, Catholic and non-Catholic alike.
