[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you! How religious is Woods Academy? We are not Catholic.[/quote]

Very religious and conservative.  [/quote]

This could not be further from the truth.  We specifically chose Woods because it is NOT over-the-top religious or conservative.  Aprox 40% of the student body is not Catholic.[/quote]

New poster.  Are you kidding?  You walk in for the tour and the first thing they hit you with is the new mission statement, with "Catholic" all over it.[/quote]

Woods Mission Statement: "An inclusive Catholic community preparing boys and girls to lead lives of significance".  Seems pretty benign to me.  Of course they're going to mention Catholicism in their mission statement---it's a Catholic school after all!  Not at all unusual for a Catholic organization to include this in their mission statement---bet you'd find the same if you looked at the mission statements for Georgetown University, Holy Cross Hospital, SOME, etc.  If you don't want to see the slightest trace of Catholicism, then Woods probably isn't a good fit.  However, I can tell you from personal experience that it's an incredibly welcoming and inclusive school regardless of whether a student or their family is Catholic.[/quote]
