[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Every Catholic school is different and has their own culture. I imagine families at Catholic schools will be welcoming to students of all faiths.

Just know that the Arlington Archdiocese as a whole is pretty conservative. The Catholic school goal is to form good people and education is almost secondary to that goal. Are you comfortable with your children starting and ending their day with prayer, praying before meals, attending Mass on a regular basis, having a lot of religious instruction etc? The school community often centers around the parish/church and many times the school is overseen by the parish priests.  My protestant DH went to a Christian school and finds the Catholic school culture a little overwhelming.

Based on your comments about writing, you might also might want to consider a Catholic or Christian classical education school. My kids don't attend one, but we considered it and have friends that value that curriculum and approach.

Good luck in making your decision!  Just start talking to schools asap for next year's enrollment.[/quote]
