Every parent wants to ensure that their child receives the best education available. But we also want to raise an emotionally healthy and well-rounded adult. There are so many options to choose from; everything from homeschooling to elementary schools with the same cost per year as college. With so many options available, choosing the right option for your family becomes a very daunting task. Although parents that home-school say that it’s the only way, and the ones that send their kids to the expensive boarding school wouldn’t do it any other way, keep in mind that each family is different. This is a decision you get to make for your family.
I think the most commonly implemented schooling method is public school. Public school has a lot to offer. Many public schools get funding from state and federal grants in addition to the budget that gets created by the taxes you pay. This allows public schools the freedom to keep specialists like speech pathologists as full-time staff. Any additional help your child might need, whether it is special education help or just tutoring, public schools are there to meet those needs.

Parochial and private schools are educational institutions operated by religious or private groups which are funded in whole or in part by the students’ tuition in contrast to public schools which are administered and financed by the local, state or national government.

Private schools, on the other hand, are independent institutions that have their own programs and requirements in selecting students. However, they still follow the rules and regulations appropriated to them by the Department of Education.
Parochial schools in the United States were, in the past, non-public. In fact, Catholic elementary schools were often attached to local parish churches. But nowadays, parochial schools are no longer just Catholic parochial schools but also refer to schools operated by different religions. These include Protestant, Jewish and Muslim, among many others. Parochial schools are independently established and operated by a religious institution and run by lay trustees or the members of the religious order. These institutions may or may not operate under public school standards depending on the differences of laws which differ from state to state. Parochial schools include religious education into their curriculum that aim to teach students their beliefs, doctrines, rituals, customs, rites, and personal roles.
