Lowell Plan
definition: The Lowell Plan was an innovative but practical program that allowed Catholic children to attend public schools that were amenable to the religious values of the Catholic Church. The establishment and survival of parish schools in Massachusetts was in serious question in the decades before the Civil War. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Lowell Plan]
