A volume in Research on Religion and Education Series Editors
Stephen J. Denig, Niagara University and Lyndon G. Furst, Andrews
University This book is a study of the contributions of Catholic
K-12 schools in the United States to the public interest from the
1800's to the present. It presents seven strategies that have the
possibility of leading Catholic schools in positive, new
directions. Outsiders often misunderstand the mission, purpose, and
inclusivity of Catholic schools. This book brings a new focus on
Catholic schools from the perspective of their service to this
country through the education of Catholics and non-Catholics. In 16
chapters, a variety of scholars examine these schools across three
periods: echoes of the past, realities of the present, and future
directions. The intention of the editor and authors of this volume
is that Catholic schools and those interested in conducting
Catholic school research will find guidance, especially in
examining newer types of partnerships flourishing in different
types of Catholic schools in different regions of the country and
types of schools from rural, suburban to city and inner-city
schools. By increasing the data we have, such studies could help
stem the tide of Catholic school demise. In addition, Catholic
school leaders, and parents who chose them or are thinking about
choosing them, will find here a balanced description of what
constitutes a Catholic school and how they are different from
public schools. In understanding better the role and function of
Catholic schools in serving the public interest, new ideas,
innovations, and improvements can help these schools survive and
grow.
