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 ghosts right....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (18821945)
