Why can't this be merged with Catholic education? There is nothing here that suggests a separate article is necessary. Daniel Case 03:05, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• I totally agree. (I will work on it later tonight.) Tvaughn05 22:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Tvaughn05 - do we really have to go through every country in the world to make this article complete - lets merge it Excalibur 19:54, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

With respect: Catholic Schools in the UK are a type of sui generis establishment, funded largely by the state, with some local diocescan funding. (Some, like S. Bede's in Manchester, are wholly fee-paying schools, however.) Granted, this doesn't alone justify a seperate article in itself, but I suggest that within the Catholic Education article there ought to be an extensive and discrete section on Catholic Schools, which encompasses some or all of this article. Added to that ought to be some information about Catholic schools in the UK, which I will add as soon as I can do a little more research; unless, of course, someone else wishes to do so first.

The picture in this article is of an Episcopal Choir, the Cathedral Choir School of Delaware, on their visit to the White White House. You can see the crest of the Episcopal Church on their vests. Kaarriagzh 14:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)karriaagzh

Hello. I think we should change (or at least add some references) the sentence that says "a requirement that the student must be Catholic to attend a Catholic school is extremely rare". I believe this is incorrect, as this is common practice in Puerto Rico. There, one must present a certificate of baptism in order to be enrolled in the school. Thank you.

While I believe it is uncommon to require a child to be Catholic, there is a "priority" list for admission: 1) Parents are members of the parish, 2) Parents are not members but are Catholic, 3) Parents are not Catholic. There may be state support of Catholic schools in Puerto Rico (and Canada and other states) that may make the priority list different, and there are limited seats in some schools. I know places are limited in my local parish. Some non-Catholics are turned away, I'm sure because of the priority list, but not because of bias, per se. Accepting all comers has been a guiding principle not only for decades but at least back a century. Student7 11:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australia

No info on Australian Catholic schools?

Especially because Catholicism is the largest religion in Australia —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.210.30.118 (talk) 04:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
