[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- It’s absolutely a Catholic school, but it’s not a diocese school, big difference. They have Catholic mass daily and prepare the boys for confirmation prep in 8th grade.

I mentioned Catholic and Opus Dei only because there are at least a dozen threads on this board that turn into people trying to ‘warn’ OPs about these two things. I’m well aware of that and prefer it, along with an all male staff.[/quote]

They don’t do confirmation prep you have to do that with your parish.[/quote]

“ The first quarter of the course is devoted to Confirmation preparation because most of the eighth-grade students are to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in their local parishes. This preparation takes in a great many of the truths of the Catholic faith but concentrates on the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of the individual and the Church. Study materials include A Brief Review for Confirmation published by The Daughters of Saint Paul, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and two chapters from The Life of Grace by Ignatius Press.”

I think that it’s honestly up to each parish whether they want to accept sacramental catechesis given by schools.

There really is no Archdiocesan affiliation anymore. Look at the Catholic Standard. You will see a paid ad. You will not see a featured profile in the spring of a recent high school grad from the Heights, but you will see a profile of a grad from every other Archdiocesan-affiliated school.

One point that most people don’t know about: the Archdiocese sends a priest to observe the teaching of every new high school religion teacher and “certifies” them. Not at the Heights.[/quote]

“The curriculum and teachers for the Catholic doctrine program are reviewed and approved by the Archdiocese of Washington.”
