[quote=Anonymous]Prospective St. Marys family here. We are Catholic (but not rigorously practicing), and after the tour yesterday, we are really curious about how the academics at St. Mary's compare in elementary to any of the Alexandria Public elementaries (e.g., Maury, MVCS, Jefferson-Houston). Is the curriculum better at St. Mary's? We would love to hear from parents who have had children enrolled both in public and St. Mary's. I guess we are trying to detemine whether the level of religion taught at St. Mary's comes at the expense of other academic areas, and whether a more progressive Catholic family would feel overwhelmed there. For example, yesterday the principle said they were teaching that the Sun represents God and that the Moon represents the virgin Mary, while the stars are children and followers. Would that not confuse a child who should be learning about the solar system?[/quote]
