If you've ever gone to a Quaker service, that's basically what the school imposes on the kids each week at worship. It's with a room full of kids, so it doesn't feel as serious as it would in a Quaker meeting house, but it's full-on Quaker. |
It does not impose anything. Go back spewing hate on the Catholic threads towards the public school kids. You know who you are |
It’s an accepting, warm, liberal community. |
Yes, and it's also a religious school (and warm might be debatable). |
Even if I were trying to find a fault, I would fail.

Yeah, we know from the weekly diatribes by a few frequent fliers. I doubt you’d be “warm” anywhere. It takes being warm to be warm. That’s not a universal experience |
We experience it in service to others, when we encounter worldviews and cultures that challenge our own.

Silent Reflection
Each week, all students and teachers gather together in Meeting for Worship, a time for quiet reflection in the midst of our busy lives. Although we meet in shared silence, any member of the community may choose to speak if moved to share a message. In place of formal doctrine, students collaboratively generate guiding questions, or queries, as a means to examine their lives and measure their actions. Students from a wide range of faiths, as well as those without a religious tradition, gather strength from this communal time together. |
It’s beautiful. And it’s very hard to find any fault with it. At its worst, you can center or have a nap |
Do you actually have a child there? If your kid is in the hs, you'd know that there is mandatory Meeting for Worship. It definitely feels less"religious" than going to chapel at the Cathedral schools, but yes, your child will be attending the religious services of a religion that is likely not your own. |
Wow. You’re really a hateful piece of work. Yes I have kids. Go away |
It's quaint. Let's pretend it's not really a religion. |
I think I know what religion you are (and it’s not Christian, just in case the Catholics freak out). You could learn a lot, like advance by several centuries, by emulating Quakers. Maybe even join us in the contemporary age |
In the hs? |
