[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am out of the DC area now but [b]highly recommend seeking out independent Catholic schools[/b]. I don’t know how the philosophies compare, but in terms of governance and size our school is most similar to Woods Academg.

My DD’s school has a formal relationship with the archdiocese but is not a parish school, so they are free to set their own curriculum and hiring standards. This means that there are many non-Catholic and LGBTQ-identifying faculty and staff and a curriculum closer to the post-Vatican II modern theology I grew up with and sought out. We have multiple same-sex and single parent families and a curriculum that acknowledges and respects all kinds of children and families.

I would look for mission statements that say “inclusive Catholic”- conservative and liberal Catholics know what this means and are drawn to or away from schools that dare to use the word “inclusive”.

OP, ignore the judgey Catholics that will come out of the woodwork for this thread as well as the haters. There are plenty of us who believe that being Catholic doesn’t mean you pick and choose who god loves and welcomes.[/quote]

+1. Go to Woods Academy in Bethesda. It’s independent Catholic and inclusive. Basically Catholic-lite.[/quote]

False—there is currently an ongoing issue where the head of school is pulling books from the library depicting same sex couples. Just FYI. [/quote]
