[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t underestimate how much religion happens at Catholic k-8s in addition to weekly mass.  Praying several times a day, learning prayers in Spanish for Spanish class, w
writing projects about saints, all the best traditions revolving around Christmas and Lent. A Jewish family would be welcomed and probably a lot of people wouldn’t even know, but I don’t know why you’d do it. You’d end up resenting all the time taken from academics. Even some Catholics struggle with that aspect of Catholic k-8. [/quote]

Did you go to Catholic school?  It sure doesn’t sound like it.   For starters, “weekly Mass” is extremely uncommon.  That wasn’t even happening when I was in Catholic school decades ago.  It was monthly — the first Friday to be exact.   [/quote]

It sounds like you’re the one unfamiliar with parochial Catholic schools, at least in this area. Weekly Mass is pretty standard.[/quote]

BS in DC does not go to mass weekly. And they actually have a few Jewish students there as well as a large number of non catholic Christians. It is a Catholic school so your kid will attend mass as a school on occasion and there is religion class but in upper elementary and middle school it’s heavily focused on social justice teaching. While it is Catholic, they are very respectful of students with other faiths and don’t force Catholicism on them. Around 20% of the students in each grade are not catholic.  [/quote]
