A parochial school (or faith school) is a type of private school which engages in religious education in addition to conventional education.

Because of such criticisms, parochialschools were forced to hire lay teachers, who came to account for an increasingly larger proportion of the faculty.
Although parochialschools still account for the bulk of the attendance at private schools in the United States, their loss of students and their financial difficulties have forced them to seek aid from public sources, most often in the form of tax subsidies or credits for the parents of parochialschool children.
Under the "child-benefit theory," government aid has been provided to the students of parochialschools, rather than to the schools themselves; by means of this compromise, the constitutional provision against aid to religious institutions is circumvented.
