Who is the founder of Saint Jude Catholic schools?
You would have to be more specific, there are a lot of St. Jude Catholic schools in the world.
Is it true that catholic schools aren't as difficult as public schools and are able to make the curriculum more fun for students?
That depends on the school, but in general Catholic Schools are equally or more difficult than public schools. With regard to more fun, that would also depend on the school rules and the teacher.
How many Catholic schools are in America?
Thousands. Possibly Tens of Thousands. Maybe more. A lot. There are several in every major city. I live in Baltimore and can think of more than ten in the area without even stopping to think about it. They are everywhere. More private schools in America are run by the Catholic Church (or one of its many religious orders) than any other single denomination or organization. Often, in an area, Catholic private schools are more affordable than non-Catholic private schools.
Can you go to a Catholic school without being Catholic?
Not necessarily. Catholic schools would likely prefer if their staff were catholic, however, if you're not catholic but vow to do your best to achieve the mission statement and goals than they'll be more than happy to hire you.

What are the duties of Catholic children who do not attend Catholic schools?
They are similar to children that do attend catholic schools. They should still go to church every Sunday and receive the sacraments that they are old enough to receive and they should keep God in their hearts. They do not have any more true duties...catholic school is just more religious and teaches about God.
The History of Catholic Schools?
Catholic schools have developed a rich history in the United States. Catholic schools began sprouting up in the United States in the early 1600s, when a group of Franciscans opened a Catholic school in modern-day Florida. Nuns, monks, and priests began developing Catholic schools due to the state of other schools in the country. There were quite a number of schools for children to attend, but since most settlers were Lutheran or Protestant, the schools often taught their lessons with an anti-Catholic slant. Over the next 150 years, the Catholic population grew and the amount of Catholic schools in the colonies increased with it. They were created both to serve the Catholic population and to convert the Native American population.Starting in the 1800s, Catholic schools became more numerous and more organized due to the right to freedom of religion. Nuns and monks began opening Catholic schools with fervor, extending their reach to poor children who either could not afford or lacked the transportation necessary to attend the nation’s public schools. During this time, Catholics, as well as their churches and schools, became increasingly unwelcome in their communities.However, as the nation grew, the number of Catholics quickly grew, giving their school system more structure and more funding. Catholic schools have become increasingly known for their dedication to education and religious teachings.Today, Catholic churches are well renowned for their religious and educational goals. Although they are outside of the public school system, they aren’t always out of reach for the typical student. The Catholic Church and other Catholic organizations provide a fair amount of scholarship money for children who want to attend a private Catholic school but don’t have the means to do so. Since the schools are outside the public school system, teachers are not required to be certified or licensed by the state.Catholic schools differ from public schools on a number of significant issues. First, the inclusion of prayer is expected in Catholic schools, while it is typically not even allowed in public schools. Second, most Catholic school coursework includes religious education that covers the history of the Catholic Church as well as its beliefs. Furthermore, most Catholic schools do not teach evolution as truth, nor do they teach comprehensive sex education.For those who maintain Catholic beliefs, Catholic schools are a great way to combine religion and education. There are numerous schools throughout the nation that uphold strict educational standards.
Are Catholic schools more difficult than public schools that have a harder curriculum and are well funded?
I attended Catholic schools for 12 years, and later taught public school, so I have a "both sides" viewpoint on this question. Catholic schools are more difficult than public schools largely because the expectations for the students are higher than they are in most public schools. On a grade-for-grade basis, the curriculum in Catholic schools is also more demanding, or perhaps more accurately, "farther along" for a given grade level. In both grade school and high school I had friends who left and went to public school, and later told me they were anywhere from a half a year to a full year ahead of the other kids in their grade in the public school. There are many variables, of course - some Catholic schools are better than others, and the best public schools I taught in were the equal of any Catholic school - those were public schools where the school and the parents had very high expectations for the students.
Is Louisville a catholic school?
There are 8 catholic high schools and quite a lot more elementary schools in Louisville, Kentucky, but none have "Louisville" in their name. The nearest name match is Louisville Classical Academy, which is a non-sectarian school.
Why are Americans educated in Catholic schools usually average superior knowledge base?
I don't know if this is still true, but it used to be true for several reasons: above all, the discipline enforced by the Nuns, Sisters, Monks, Brothers, or Priests was far superior to that in the public schools. In addition, the students were more motivated and usually better behaved than the public schools. Another factor might of been that the schools themselves were more homogeneous than many public schools, the parents were paying real money and expected more of their schools, and their children. Catholic parents had to pay twice, as they were forced to pay school taxes for the public schools, and they had to pay the tuition for the Catholic school.
Why have many Catholic Schools closed over the past 30 years?
Catholic Dioceses have seen reduced memberships beginning in the early 1970s. As more families moved away from the Catholic faith, fewer students were enrolled in Catholic Schools. At first, the Roman Catholic Church responded to this by consolidating classes and individual schools. They closed older schools and moved students from those buildings to another school. But with continuing downward trends for new enrollment, finally more schools had to close. The same has happened with parish churches, as one then another closed and parishoners were asked to attend other existing churches.At the same time, fewer young people enter the vocation to become priests and nuns. Rectories and Mother Houses are being sold because they are too large and costly to maintain with an aging and declining population to use these as sanctified residences.
