[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good question, "Episcopal" really means nothing.  There's blather at the front of the WES materials and website about what an "episcopal" school is supposed to be.  It's just verbiage.  WES has no parish affiliation which makes it even more confused.  Whatever Episcopal Culture is left is rapidly dying:  the number of national Episcopalians dropped below 2 million a year ago.  It is now 1.6 million only - in the entire nation, which is why it cannot fix National Cathedral and why Bishop Schori is ordering the selling of the unused episcopal chapels.  Really quite a shame.[/quote]

The first order of business for a school should be to educate. If they supplement the culture of the school with religion to guide how people should treat one another that is their right. I feel that more and more schools are welcoming students of all faith and work to balance that with their particular religious aspirations. I suggest you visit the schools in question and ask the questions important to you. You will get a lot of opinions here, but a lot of those opinions are based on biases. Many people will form their opinion of a school based on hearsay and rumors. Only you can decide for yourself. Do the research, because your child may fit one environment better than another regardless of what you want. It is good to have your child visit the places, but unfortunately with school out for summer, that visit will not be as informative.[/quote]
