[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the Catholic school, and no, they are not all an extension of a parish. Many others answer to a religious order or are fully independent but receive support for sacraments from the archdiocese. You need to go to admissions events and talk to the parent hosts there to be able to read between the lines of what the school marketing materials say. Any schools with a relationship to the Archdiocese will have some rules about what they do/say, but there are progressive Catholic schools whose students and faculty are more aligned with Catholic social justice and other movements who do welcome and enroll families of all faiths. Our school is Catholic and independent so it does have ties to the archdiocese but not in the same way as a parish school- we have children who are Jewish, Muslim, evangelical, and definitely atheist, and faculty who are married LGBTQ+. People often choose our school over secular ones for its emphasis on ethics, service, and social justice education. [/quote]
