[quote=Anonymous]I went to an Episcopalian school here in the DMV that is mentioned often on dcum. There was chapel and some religion classes but, at the time at least, much of that class was free period. It did not dominate the remainder of the school and did not permeate things like sex ed and science (understanding of evolution, etc) classes, etc: these, from the perspective of a now parent would be key. That being said, I would still avoid any religious affiliation if at all possible and would never even consider Catholic or Christian (for religious *and* academic reasons). We made the mistake of looking at one school during elementary age and *ran*. 
For HS, DC ended up choosing a BS. It does have a chapel on the grounds as it is an old school, but does not have a particular religious affiliation. They handle any chapel services they offer as an optional part of the school and the religion/philosophy requirement can be satisfied with classes such as world religions or comparative religion, etc.[/quote]
