[quote=Anonymous]Considering St. Jerome in Hyattsville.  Lifelong Catholic, appreciate moral structure and guidance but struggle with idea of original sin, creationism, etc.  We are considering the school because our local school is not an option and because parents who send their children to St. Jerome speak highly of it.  We like that St. Jerome practices Socratic method, doesn't seem to teach to the test, allows for more physical activity and creative outlets, encourages children to explore their ideas.  But what if that idea runs counter to the idea of Creationism, for example?  Unlike the Catholic schools of our youth, where prayer was taught, you went to mass on the holy days, were guided on right and wrong and where religion was a class you took, St. Jerome seems to weave religion into EVERYTHING.

What do the not-highly-religious parents who send their kids there think of the school and of the education provided to your child?  Is this a no-brainer?  Among other things, I don't want my child being taught that homosexuality is an abomination.  Is the answer simple?  Should we walk away?
