[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of the PPs. Follow up question on this : Do Episcopalian Schools such as NCS/STA, SSSAS, St Andrews... give any advantage in the admissions process to Episcopalian kids/ families? or is this limited to Catholic Schools?[/quote]
[b]No. There’s a place in the application to indicate your religion if you choose to, but there’s no advantage to being Episcopalian.[/b] [/quote]

I wonder why this is the case. As in why do Catholic Schools give advantage to Catholic kids in admissions but Episcopalian Schools don't give the same advantage to Episcopalian kids.

Catholic schools that are also parochial get donations from the associated parish  to run the school. The parish community therefore provides financial support to the school to the benefit of children of the parish. For diocesan high schools, parishes also send money to the diocesan high school again and support of Catholic education for their parishioners. Because the parish supports the students in this way, they do not have to pay full tuition as would  other non-parish, and non-catholic students.
 There is no tuition reduction for private, Catholic schools. Everyone pays the full tuition.[/quote]
