Faith Based Schools

The first schools in the United States integrated religious material into the curriculum, so from the beginning one could argue there have been faith-related, if not faith-based, schools. This chapter reviews the history and development of faith-based private schools in the United States. Proceeding in essentially historical sequence, the authors trace the development of these schools from Protestant elementary and secondary schools to Roman Catholic, Jewish, and Islamic schools. The authors demonstrate how this nonpublic collection of faith-based educational entities accommodated burgeoning religious and cultural communities. Present and future challenges facing US faith-based private schools are discussed.

Broad Understanding

In the introduction of this book, Arthur Cohen states that The Shaping of American Higher Education is less a history than a synthesis. While accurate, this depiction in no way detracts from the value of the book. This work synthesizes the first three centuries of development of high-er education in the United States. A number of books detail the early history of the American collegiate system; however, this book also pro-vides an up-to-date account of developments and context for under-standing the transformation of American higher education in the last quarter century. A broad understanding of the book’s subtitle, Emergence and Growth of the Contemporary System, is truly realized by the reader.
