[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are seriously considering the Heights for our boys. We know a few families there, but not that many. We currently send our boys to a diocese school where there are some (not a ton) of well-to-do families that go to country clubs and fancy vacations. We definitely aren’t like that, we are a single income family and live a pretty modest lifestyle. Would we fit in there? Is it a school with tons of Uber wealthy families?

We are devout Catholics and very familiar with Opus Dei, please don’t feel the need to inform me of that. [/quote]

T[b]he Heights is not a catholic school. It has not had that distinction for years. Don’t know why you made the comment about you being Catholic and Opus Dei thing. [/b]

Maybe because the school IS Catholic and OPUS Dei.  This is taken from its online Statement of Principles and Values, no. 6 and 7.  It even mentions Opus Dei.

"An integral part of The Heights School’s unique ethos is that its educational and formational activities are carried out with a Christian spirit and in accord with the teachings of the[b] Catholic Church[/b]. While The Heights is open to persons of all creeds, it asks the members of its community—students, parents, faculty, board, staff—to adhere to the tenets of morality taught by the [b]Magisterium of the Catholic Churc[/b]h, which it respects and venerates with loyalty. In addition, The Heights faithfully teaches Catholic doctrine as promulgated by that same Magisterium, to all [b]Catholic students, [/b]and to any students from other creeds interested in this formation.
The Christian aspects of the school (spiritual, doctrinal, and moral) are entrusted to [b]Opus Dei, a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church. In fulfilling its role, Opus Dei provides chaplains for the school and oversees its program of classes in Catholic doctrine.

ick. So creepy. And you wonder why they can’t get any educated women to teach there?[/quote]
