And with Episcopal schools you get their screwed up theology but hey, take the good with the bad. [/quote]

Episcopal theology?  Thou shalt dress up and have music and donuts at church?[/quote]
Right! Welcome everyone, be kind, help others.. totally screwed up [/quote]

In the modern day, the Episcopal church falls on the “Christian left” portion of the spectrum, unlike most of the very vocal Christian elements in US politics. Scarily enough, especially with the current Pope, the Catholic Church is kind of in the center (except for Opus Dei).  I’m sticking with the side of accepting all people and believing in science and want my kids educated in that way.[/quote]

Catholics believe in science.

Episcopal high schools in the area exclude kids with disabilities.  They definitely don’t accept anywhere close to all people.

As others have said, most Episcopal schools are private schools that may have once been affiliated with the church but no longer are. They tend to hold onto chapel, have chaplain on the faculty and offer a few religion classes.[b] But, as a private school, can accept whoever they want. [/b]

As for being accepting, I guarantee you that Episcopal schools are way more accepting of kids of other religions than Catholic or Jewish schools. Most Episcopal schools will celebrate holidays of other faiths and offer world religion classes. [/quote]

Of course that's true that they can accept whoever they want.  So can Catholic schools.  In this area, Catholic high schools choose to accept a wider variety of students than Episcopal high schools do.  They choose to keep their costs down and give better financial aid.  They choose to include students with disabilities.  They include many students who aren't Catholic.  [/quote]

That’s because they use the schools as a religious recruitment avenue. Episcopal schools don’t cancel math classes for Mass. Catholic schools do.[/quote]

Can you name a Catholic school that cancels math class for Mass?

Obviously Episcopal schools aren't going to have Mass.  They have chapel instead.  I assume that, like Catholic schools, there is time built into the schedule so that classes aren't cancelled.  But I don't have a kid at one.  I did attend a Quaker school that had meeting for worship four times as often as most Catholic high schools have mandatory mass.  [/quote]
Yes, I can, but I’m not interested in naming names. I know some of the students in several of them.[/quote]

So you can sling an accusation but can’t back it up? Very convenient.[/quote]

I don’t want the families of the students I know to be identified and to suffer retribution for sharing experiences outside of the bubble. Hence the reference to the Keepers.

They must be skipping language arts, too, PP.[/quote]
