You've asked if they are an article of faith, to which I've replied no, they are not. Not everything that is part of one's faith is an article of faith. Yet, you still insist that they "seem" to be despite the fact they're not.

Just like all squares are rectangles, not all rectangles are squares.

It's not unreasonable to expect that children in Christian schools should know the Ten Commandments. I grew up Catholic, and learned that, plus all the Catholic prayers (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Apostle's Creed), the Rosary, etc.

Yet, not all of those were articles of faith. In fact, even the Catholic Church's Catechism states that "not all revealed truth is an article of faith".

The 10 Commandments are often discussed in Catechism (ie. Luther's Small Catechism 1529AD), but are not referenced in any creed (i.e. Apostle's, Nicene, Athanasian) which detail the Articles of Faith for that tradition.
