[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know families at all three and all seem to be happy with their choice.  DC considered two  of them but ended up choosing an independent Catholic.  IMO, they’re much more similar than different.

All three:

1. Have a wide variety of learners from excellent students who go to top colleges to average/ below average students.

2. Have many different activities that appeal to kids with a wide range of interests and have very good sports teams.  DJO and PVI have stronger programs for DC’s sport but all three would provide opportunities for athletes.

3. Incorporate Catholicism into the curriculum.

4. Are large enough to have kids with a wide
range of interests and do not appeal to only a specific type of kid.

If geographically all three could work, I would visit and see what you think.  But, unless something really stands out to you, I probably would focus on the school that is closest to you.[/quote]

Can not have science and religion [/quote]

Not sure why you opine about something you know nothing about.  [/quote]

DP. I wouldn’t go so far as to make a comment about science and religion. But there has been a major shift in Catholic schools in the last 10-15 years and some families’ desire for them to be aggressive with regard to the extent of religious propagation throughout the school day and curriculum. Part of it seems to be insecurity and part of it seems to be the JD Vances who find Catholicism to be a useful signaling device.

Used to be you just had religion class and went to Mass every once in awhile.

I don’t think it’s ever been just religion and going to mass every once in a while. [b]Religion has always been interwoven in the schools in many ways,[/b] that’s what makes it a Catholic school.

I’ve always thought the more conservative-Catholic flavor of the schools here is attributed to them being associated with the Arlington diocese. Very, very conservative in general. So are the parishes.

Not in the curriculum, it hasn’t. That’s a new thing.[/quote]
