Best Answer
Catholic AnswerCatholic schools are very important for the simple reason that the Catholic faith if almost diametrically opposed to the values of the modern world; and, unfortunately, one of the primary ways those values are instilled in young people is through the public education system. To learn what one needs to know to survive in the modern world, and to learn it with one's faith in tact is a great and precious gift that we should be willing to sacrifice almost anything for to save the next generation. We have a duty, before God, to pass on the faith, and the faith if NOT just going to Mass on Sunday!

Because, a lot of people are scared of the public schools due to all the danger it can put the child up to. Although, really you really just have to find a good public school that doesn't have much of a track record.

Additional Reasons:

I taught in Catholic Schools for 13 years and there are several reasons people choose a Catholic education:

1.) Most want their children educated in a theistic environment rather than the atheistic environment of government (public) schools.

2.) Some place their children in a Catholic school because the quality of education they receive is generally superior to that received in a government school.

3.) Unfortunately, some place their children in a Catholic school simply as a status symbol to impress their friends and neighbors.

Is Common Core Curriculum taught in Catholic Schools?

Catholic schools are not a monolithic structure. There are Catholic schools run by individual parishes, there are Catholic schools run by dioceses, there are Catholic schools run by religious Orders, each of them is governed differently. Most Catholic schools in one diocese are directly under the Bishop in one way or another, and there are some Bishops who have signed onto the Common Core Curriculum, there are others who are very much opposed to it, you would need to check with your local Catholic school to see where they stand on this issue.
