[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The atmosphere at Visi may be kinder and gentler than at NCS or other independent schools. The Irish, the dominant ethnic group there, are a gregarious, communicative and sports-oriented lot.

But non-Catholics should keep in mind that these are people for whom Catholic education and group identity and cohesiveness  is important and who have chosen homogeneity over more diversity.

Visi and NCS do  rarely compete for the same applicant pool.

Wow as a Catholic I find all these Catholic stereo types amazing.  Indeed, I don't pick friends or where my schools attend school, etc., based on my religion.  And I haven't met any other Catholics who do either.  It seems that most pick a school because it's the right fit for their child and that the religious aspect is secondary.  The sweeping generalizations are pretty shocking.  There would be a lot of outrage if what was being said about Catholic's was substituting with Jews, Muslims, or whatever.
