[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Appreciate all of the responses. With the exception of the first two, we appreciate everyone replying with their actual first-hand experiences and thoughts vice just opinion and conjecture. We’re fairly data-driven folks, and all I have to truly go off of is my own (really great) experience at Catholic schools. But that of course was at a different time under different circumstances. I knew Diocese of Arlington faired on the more traditional/conservative side (that is the diocese I went to school in), but didn’t realize it was one of the most staunch in the country. It was interesting to learn that the Archdiocese of Washington seems to have a whisper of progressive-leaning parishes, which squares with growing up with LGBT friends who happily attended some of those schools.

As mentioned in the original post, we are leaning heavily towards Episcopal (most likely), Quaker, or Independent, but didn’t want our decision to not go Catholic be solely based on strong assumptions. The few open houses we’ve attended thus far of an Episcopal and Independent school don’t just align well from the perspective of our family dynamics, but also other values and issues we care about. Out of sheer curiosity at this point, we will likely still go on the one tour we had already scheduled with a PK-8 Diocese of Arlington school (scheduled well before we even thought about the glaring conflict); happy to report back here for other folks who might be curious as to our experience.[/quote]
