[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems to me that the secular private school is a much better alternative if you are looking to seamlessly integrate into a new school. [/quote]

Thanks everyone. To PP above, my problem with secular private schools are two fold (1) many are extremely expensive. With 3 kids we simply cannot afford them and we wouldn't qualify for financial aid and (2) many of them are not traditional in their education. I am looking for schools that offer direct instruction, are content focused, emphasize reading, writing and math, and teach via direct instruction. I know catholic schools tend to do this. I am also looking for schools that have strict behavioral standards but are loving as well.  My problem is that the schools I am looking for tend to be religious, and the non-catholic ones (whether religious or secular) that tend to be easier to get into have very few minorities. I don't want my kids to stick out.  I like the values that many of the religious schools have and they are similar to my values. But we do not have the same beliefs. I am not worried about my kids adopting a different belief system - they have a strong sense of self. But I am more worried about them sticking out both religiously and ethnically. [/quote]
