[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entirely different histories. Episcopalian schools were always founded as private schools for the elites. Catholic schools were always founded to serve a broader range of students across socio-economic backgrounds, which, IMHO, is a major advantage of a Catholic education over Episcopalian.

It's why there's virtually no difference between Episcopalian prep schools and secular prep schools other than a chapel. Quakers also fall into this category albeit slightly different raison d'etre. [/quote]

No to " is a major advantage of a Catholic education over Episcopalian."

There is no reality that is true.

And please explain why giving your money to the support of Pedos over children is a good thing? Yeah the church still supports that over children.

And Catholic Education got some big holes in the science department. [/quote]

You're clearly not looking for a reasonable discussion (re the last comment, the Catholic Church accepts and has long taught evolution in Catholic schools, FYI).

Private Catholic high schools - which do not get funding from the archdiocese as they are not run by the archdiocese but by specific orders like the Jesuits or the School Sisters of Notre Dame - have always had a much broader socio-economic intake of students. Even in DC, Georgetown Prep, the "ritziest" of the private Catholic schools, has greater socioeconomic diversity compared to Landon or St. Albans.

As it is, both Catholic schools and Episcopalian schools are Christian schools. None of them would deny it, not even St. Albans.
