The Differences Between Protestant and Catholic School Graduates

A new study finds that graduates of Protestant Christian schools have different traits than those who attend Catholic and non-religious private schools:

More Catholic school administrators ranked the university as the top priority, while more Protestant school administrators ranked family as the top emphasis of the school, researchers say.

The research team also surveyed more than 150 Catholic and Protestant school administrators in Canada and the United States to assess the aspirations.

The study found Protestant Christian school graduates:

— Divorced less and had more children than their Catholic and private school peers.

— Participated in more relief and development service trips.

— Have lower incomes, but were more thankful for what they have in life.

— Attended less competitive colleges and attended fewer years of college.

— Talked less about politics, participated less in political campaigns and donated less to political causes.

UPDATE: In the original title I mistakenly added “College” graduates. This research was on secondary schools. I apologize for the error.
