Maybe in later elem. I'll change my mind, but for now, an all male education is in the best interest of my child.

Interested to hear why, pp. Does your DS crave male role models or respond better to make figure heads?

What you are saying is the philosophy they are teaching (the young male mind!) is that of a traditional thought process in which the female does not work? What about women who are not yet married or married and do not have children? Are THEY not permitted to be teachers of boys? What is the traditional role they would espouse for women in those scenarios?

I'm not saying that's what Heights teaches. I'm saying that's what I believe. All Traditional Catholics and Traditional Protestants believe this. I'm sure some Heights families believe what I believe. ( it's is a Traditional Catholic school after all)

I AM a practicing Catholic, PP! I don't know what you mean by the term "Traditional Catholics", do you really mean you are Opus Dei or believe in pre-Vatican II?

You never answered the question about whether young women teachers who are either not married or married without children. Are they allowed to teach or work in your eyes? If not, what should they be doing from your "traditional" outlook.

Don't feed the troll.

When I say Traditional Catholic, I mean a Catholic who rejects Vatican II and attends the Latin Mass.( so yes, a pre-Vatican II Catholic ) Most of these people would agree with me.

Responds much better to men.

They may agree with you. However, that has absolutely zero bearing on whether that is a part of Catholic doctrine, pre-Vatican or otherwise. Spoiler alert: it's not.

I am the PP with the female in-laws who are very conservative Catholic and who are teachers. I will add that my sister-in-law, who is a pro-life activist and attends only Latin mass, is a teacher. Some how your belief system is not one that she embraces -- I call troll.

So to get back on topic, I just want to know if they hire female teachers. If someone can please speak to this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

It appears they don't. Check out the faculty list on their website. https://heights.edu/faculty/

Kinda creepy. The first question that came to me was why would anyone want their son in a school that values maleness so much that women aren't even allowed to teach. But in looking at the faculty page with only man after man after man, the second thought is what kind of grown adult man wants to spend every workday of his career with only men and boys. Odd and a little creepy (and I'm saying that as a practicing Catholic).

There is nothing in pre-Vatican II, post Vatican II, cannon law or Catholic doctrine which addresses the issue of women working outside the home.

In addition there are plenty of women who work within the Opus Dei community (a whole different issue) so the Heights chooses not to employ women which is their choice.

There are women employed at the school in non-teaching roles (Librarian, Business Manager, Communications and Fundraising/events), so they are open to hiring women. There are just zero women in teaching positions.

So they all hold support positions. Interesting.

I believe that there are actually some professional women on the Board of Trustees.

Those are all professional positions. It's not like they are lunch ladies or scrub toilets so that's all the students think women can do!

I think I can shed some light on this. They have females who work at the Heights in staff and administrator positions, just not as classroom teachers. I used to work at Oakcrest, which is sort of their sister school, and they have the same policy in reverse. Only female teachers, but males were in other staff and administrator positions.

This has nothing at all to do with saying that women should be at home and not working. They just believe that men in the classroom are the best role models for boys. And Oakcrest believes that women in the classroom can serve as the best role models for girls. Pretty simple. Not sure if I agree or disagree but it's just a matter of role modeling for same gender students. Not some weird religious thing or a social statement or anything like that!
