Private and Religious Schools
Private schools are an option for parents who want to assure their child a better education. They are often very expensive. While the state governments regulate them and insist that they meet certain educational standards, states do not provide financial aid. Private schools can be day schools or boarding schools, where students live on campus away from their parents. Private military academies, known for enforcing strict discipline, exist all over the country. Parochial and Religious Schools have their own school systems all over the United States. The Catholic system is by far the largest. Religious schools usually cost less than secular private schools. Children at religious schools receive religious instruction in addition to the academic subjects required by the state laws.
