Church School

A church school is a place of education, the precise nature of which varies from one national jurisdiction to another.

The State of Alabama defines a church school as follows:

includes only such schools as offer instruction in grades K-12, or any combination thereof including the kindergarten, elementary, or secondary level and are operated as a ministry of a local church, group of churches, denomination, and/or association of churches on a nonprofit basis which do not receive any state or federal funding.

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or school:

    Midnight has come and the great Christ Church bell
    And many a lesser bell sound through the room;
    And it is All Souls’ Night.
    And two long glasses brimmed with muscatel
    Bubble upon the table. A ghost may come;
    For it is a ghost’s right....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
