[quote=Anonymous]So, I don’t mind that schools exist that hold a different set of beliefs than my own. I don’t expect everyone to believe the same things I do.

What I don’t get, and what I DO mind, is whenever these threads pop up about The Heights and:
1. people say, “Hey, it’s an Opus Dei school, you should know what that is before you send your kid there!”; 
2. The school doesn’t hide at all that it IS an Opus Dei school (and that’s fine! If it is, it should own it, and it appears to do that) https://heights.edu/student-life/faith/ 
3. Yet a whole crop of people pop up to say “No, no. We are such a lowkey school, everyone is wrong about our beliefs, and there are non-Catholics here too.”

The posters who said nobody ends up at The Heights on accident is correct. There are clearly a very specific set of beliefs that parents here either subscribe to, or are comfy with their kids being around. Why do The Heights’ defenders try to deny or downplay this?

I ask that in a supportive way…. Your school community exits to serve a purpose…. Why not own it and simply say “Hey, this school might not be for everyone, and we’re cool with that.”[/quote]
