[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something that I really like about the school is the fostering of reasoned discourse. They intentionally cultivate the ability to communicate about a hard topic in a thoughtful way. (Isn’t this much needed in our society?) In the case of the middle school unit on Roman history, for example, hard topics are not emotionally charged because the people, events, and society are in the past. If only present day topics were discussed then emotions would get hot in a hurry …like on DCUM!

My criticism of the school is not with their thoughtful and intelligent faculty, nor with their belief in objective truth, but rather with the lack of access to this excellence. Catholic educators are called not to be elitist. They are called to be a light unto the world, not just an inner circle. To my mind, it’s an act of intellectual charity to bring the education they offer to more boys beyond siblings or the sons of alumni and teachers. Seems like there’s no room in the inn for the stranger!

The "Catholics" that run the Heights are different form the Catholics who run schools that are genuinely a light unto the world.  For those Catholic schools, check out schools like Sisters Academy in Baltimore, or Chicago Jesuit Academy.  They are truly changing lives at those schools.[/quote]
