religion is a central part of many schools, both in the US and across the world. In the US, there are catholic schools and thousands of other faith-based schools. These schools are considered private schools, in the sense that they do not receive public funds. You must pay to attend these schools. they teach normal classes, but in addition, they also teach religion.
Public funded schools are strictly forbiden from teaching religion, due to separation of state and church. If the public schools were to teach any religion, that could indicate a government preference for one religion over another, which is undesirable.
Government and religion are treated separate, in order to acheive freedom of religion. State sponsored religion should be avoided, because it causes problems, such as civil war and oppression of other religions.
