[quote=PaleoConPrep][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]St. Athanasius in Vienna. They don't follow Vatican II and are friendly with (though not officially part of) SSPX. They have an affiliated school, St. Anthony Academy, [b]that follows a curriculum straight out of the Middle Ages[/b].[/quote]

Holy hell, you weren't exaggerating! That's even how they describe it.[/quote]

[b]"Children in this younger stage love the chance to memorize and it is foolish not to take advantage of this opportunity...Mastery of the Grammar stage requires large amounts of memorization and this should be done when memorization is easy and agreeable.  Thus, our younger students are taught to store away in memory large amounts of information which they do not yet understand completely. "[/b]

Whoa, it gets worse. From their handbook:

[b]"2) Rock music should not be listened to at home or in the car:
Much of the music in the modern culture is inappropriate for children, not only because of the rock beat, but also because of the lyrics.

6) Internet
Children younger than high school should not have access to the internet except for educational purposes, and then only with a parent present.

8) Playmates
Great care should be exercised in choices of friends for your children. Allowing them to play with children who are permitted to see and do things that you do not permit, is the same as allowing it yourself.\

...- refrain from speaking about modern movies, television shows, music, computer games or video games while at school."

Girls must wear head coverings inside the church.

I'm no Catholic, but this looks wonderful. I skimmed through the curriculum, and it looks like these kids are getting an excellent classical Catholic education. This is a prime example of Rod Drehers "Benedict Option." It's hardcore Traditional Catholicism. If you don't like it, don't send your kids there. There are Protestant schools like this as well. Conservative classical Catholic ( and Protestant) schools are the best way to counter the Leftist public education system. God bless these folks! [/quote]
