[quote=Anonymous]I was raised Catholic and went to 19 years of Catholic school.  I was not comfortable putting my child in a Catholic elementary school because I wanted to be sure he had a firm foundation in our family's current religion and I wasn't comfortable with some of what he'd be taught in a K-8 Catholic school.
He will be attending a Catholic high school.  For many reasons, it's the right choice for him and for our family.  At this age, the religion classes are less about teaching the catechism and more about teaching foundational theology and history that is more similar across Christian sects.  He's also old enough that we can have some of the more nuanced conversations that will be required so that he can be respectful of his classmates beliefs while also discussing ways in which our beliefs differ.

Based on my experience with Catholic schools and several friends' experiences with this particular school, I'm confident he'll be accepted at the school and that we'll be comfortable with the religious aspect.[/quote]
