The Christian schools in Israel (you manage from Catholics, orthodox and Protestants of the various denominations) are in total 47 and they are frequented by around 33 thousands of Christian students, Moslems, Hebrews and druses.
It is unsolved, however, the knot of the reduction of the public financings to the Christian schools, decreased of 45% in six years, which the recent prohibition is added for the same institutes to receive funds from the families of the students. The government has finally exhorted the Christian schools to joined the educational system of the Israeli public schools: a measure perceived as a threat to their own identity.
