It means that the school is a Christian school, and that prayer is part of the curriculum of the school. In point of fact it is the most important of all the teachings of the school.

Why did Justice John Paul Stevens ban prayer in school?
Justice Stevens didn't ban prayer in school; the US Supreme Court took that action in Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962), before Stevens joined the Court in 1975. Justice Hugo Black wrote the opinion in that case.The Supreme Court heard a similar case, Wallace v. Jaffree,472 US 38 (1985), in which Alabama law permitted public school teachers to lead prayer sessions and teach religion during the school day. In a 6-3 decision, the Court determined the state law was unconstitutional under the First Amendment Establishment Clause. Justice Stevens wrote the majority opinion in Jaffree, but was only one of the six who voted to overturn the Alabama law.The reason the Court disallows organized prayer in public school is that it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which holds the government cannot promote religion. Because schools receive federal funds, they must also uphold the Establishment Clause. Private schools that do not receive money from the US government are under no such restriction and can conduct prayer without fear of intervention.For more information about the Supreme Court's position on prayer in public schools, see Related Questions, below.
