Today, the Nativity schools have joined with the Lasallian San Miquel schools in a network (www.nativitymiguelschools.org) of more than 50 private, independent Catholic schools nationwide.

  Catholic school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catholic schools are educational ministries of the Roman Catholic Church.
These schools aim to develop their students through participation in the sacramental life of the Church, study of religion and theology, a full curriculum in secular subjects, and a variety of extra-curricular activities.
Catholic schools, on the other hand, incorporated preparatory courses for the Sacraments into the curriculum, celebrated Mass on major feast days, organized retreats and promoted prayer at the beginning of the school day and before meals.

 In Defense of Catholic School (This Rock: January 2005)
I have become extremely tired of the dinner-party trend in which the conversation gets around to how dreadful Catholic priests are, how oppressive the Church is, and—most popular of all—how oppressive life was at a Catholic school and how cruel the nuns were.
It’s all the more absurd because (in Britain at any rate) Catholic schools are popular and oversubscribed with parents struggling to have their children accepted, often fibbing about Mass attendance or giving false addresses (grandparents’ homes or houses belonging to other relatives) in order to fall within the attachment areas of a popular parish school.
But my concern is to empower Catholics into setting the human record straight about the actual achievements of old-style convent schools and the benefits they gave to the girls they educated.
