For the record, Ambleside School of Herndon is not a church-affiliated school. Ambleside School is a Christ-centered school. The education and curriculum are based on the philosophy of Charlotte Mason, who was a British classical educator.  The school is associated with Ambleside Schools International. There are students from various Protestant denominations or no denomination. There are also many Catholic students who are happy at Ambleside School.

From the FAQ on their website:

Do you accept students of different faiths?

Yes, Ambleside does not require any student or parent to sign a statement of faith, as long as there is clear understanding and support of the school’s commitment to Christ-centered education. Teachers, staff and board members are all required to sign a Statement of Faith.

How do you handle doctrinal differences in the classroom?

We cultivate in our classrooms the idea that we are all children of God and fellow travelers on our journey of faith. In matters of faith, we seek to unite our students around the person of Jesus Christ, allowing many issues of doctrine to take second place. Teachers are asked to refer students to their parents to resolve controversial doctrinal issues. We seek unity in essential matters of faith and welcome diversity in the non- essentials. The overarching principles for any sensitive discussion are love, respect, and understanding.[/quote]
