Catholic schools are parochial pre-primary, primary and secondary educational institutions administered in association with the Catholic Church. As of 2011, the Catholic Church operates the world's largest religious, non-governmental school system.[1] In 2016, the church supported 43,800 secondary schools and 95,200 primary schools.[2] The schools include religious education alongside secular subjects in their curriculum.
