How does the state scholarship apply to this kind of school? A congregation-run school can often price near the state award because it shares a building and a staff with the church, which is why many are small and keep fee lists short.
This group holds religious schools with a church, ministry, congregation or parish in their registered name. A church school whose name lacks those words appears under Christian Schools instead.
