[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming from a small progressive into a Catholic school. We are not Catholic. What are the biggest challenges to anticipate?[/quote] The dumbing down of academics The dumbing down of science [/quote] I think the biggest challenge will be the switch happening after 9 years in a completely different kind of environment. Most Catholic schools that I have seen do have a long list of infractions even for “minor” things like wearing the wrong color shirt or wrong style of shoes. Catholic schools also have a reputation of not being as strong when it comes to math and science (although progressive schools aren’t always so great a math either), but strong humanities and writing. Of course the religious element can be quite heavy feeling for a non-Catholic who is new to the parochial school environment. [/quote]
