The Heights

[Anonymous]

I think it’s a super weird school fwiw

[Anonymous]

I remember when we went to the Open house the director said that technology like phones, laptops etc was evil and some other crazy stuff.
The place is run like a sect similar to any other Opus Dei facility in the world. Neddless to say we run away from that place as fast as we could.

I am wondering if high school students are allowed to type up their papers/essay or do they have to write them by hand (since technology is so evil)

We are considering this school for our DS. I don't like how there are a lot of drugs and drinking in area schools and this one seems to be safer option. We are also fairly conservative Catholics. I do get odd feeling about some things, and their anti-technology position bothers me..

Why? The thread (which is mostly filled with ignorance and hate) is 9 years old. There's a more recent one about the summer camp. Again, the idiots, above, who know nothing about the catholic church and have only read Dan brown's book make themselves look stupid. We are non-catholic and sent our boy there for three years. It is a wonderful school.

It's a cult.
https://www.cta-usa.org/perspectives/opus-dei-cult

Founded by Franco supporter and Nazi sympathizer

Members of Opus Dei are expected to have spiritual directors and are advised not to make any life decisions without permission from their spiritual advisor.

Many of their practices are archaic and misogynistic such as having women (usually young women from underdeveloped countries seeking a better way of life) clean the men’s dorms after the men have gone to work and when they are not home. These women not only clean the facilities, but do the laundry as well as prepare, serve, and clean up the food. They often put in 14 hour days. This is where some of the allegations of human trafficking come from.

the group has a goal to have a “symbiotic relationship with government and society as a whole.” Further investigations indicate that they have taken great efforts to influence and in some cases take over political organizations, especially in the US. Many of the authors of Project 2025 are Opus Dei members.

we have 6 Catholic US Supreme Court Justices. (Imagine, for a moment, that it was 6 Methodist or Jewish or Muslim). 5 of the 6 are affiliated in some way or outright members of Opus Dei (membership is not public, though they are not supposed to lie if asked directly.) Leonard Leo, head of the Federalist Society that has advised the Republican Party on judges, is a member, as is Bill Barr, Steve Bannon and more. J.D. Vance was featured on the cover of their magazine when he became Catholic and his stated views are certainly in line with Opus Dei.

I would, for the low/no tech approach. Democrats want their kids to think too you know…or at least some of them.

Great school!

It is a very good school. Son enjoys summer camps there. He decided to apply elsewhere and enrolled at a Jesuit school. Be prepared for lots of trolls from the left/woke crowd. I would have been fully supportive if he elected it as his one and only transfer application.

Because they do a good job of teaching young men.
