This article explores issues of school choice in Spain and the United States by examining the roles and functions of centros concertados, publicly funded private schools in Spain, and public charter schools in the United States, to provide key insights into the similarities and differences between them in relation to their motivations and methods for their creation, funding, and the importance of ideology in general and religion in particular in the schools.
