It is a church-based school. It came in the wake of the reformation and the cessation of the Catholic Inquisitions. Lutherans in German though that it was easier and less offensive to indoctrinate young people in mandatory schools than it was to use force and coersion to punish adult offenders. So mandatory schools were developed for those aged 5-13. But each school confessed to one religion or the other, hence the term confessional school. There were many interconfessional schools attempted, where students learned together but were separatd for their religion classes. These failed.
