[quote=Anonymous]I will be the dissenting voice here. My child’s Catholic school weaves Catholicism through every aspect of their day, from doing reports on a Saint to priests visiting each class once a week and doing a lesson, to learning their math word  problems with “Jesus blessed 4 children in the crowd on Wednesday. Thursday he blessed 7. How many more children were blessed on Thursday. Draw a number line blah blah blah.”

It’s imperative to understand that the Catholic schools are the biggest mission of the Catholic Church, ie, the money parishioners give in totality is used to help the schools in addition to the tuition, as it is the Catholic Church’s major goal to have children brought up in their faith.

It’s not a discounted private school, and your child’s education is being paid for in part by the church as a whole, top down.

You simply cannot take the  Catholic out of Catholic school and I think it would be confusing, boring and a waste of a child’s time to be educated in a faith they didn’t believe in.
