Our Christian school only uses a Christian curriculum of which there are two publishers to chose from, and they are both emphasize grammar. Now within that framework the teacher can enhance the curriculum in writing, vocabulary, speech, etc.
Literature is also from the same publishers.
Other schools will use secular materials and may have the financial resources to purchase new materials. The mission statement and the school's Philosophy of Education statement should give you some idea as to what drives their curriculum decisions. English teachers are desperately needed in many private schools. Best wishes in your decision.
