[quote=Anonymous]Consider the motives of Catholics that send their kids to Catholic schools like Bishop Ireton. They include:

It’s a Family Tradition – Older siblings, parents, uncles/aunts and grandparents have attended the school or have gone to other Catholic schools. 
Catholic Values – We want the same message and values at school as we have at church and at home. We would even like to be assured that the families of school friends share the same values and beliefs.

Continuing Development of Friendships – We want our kids to continue the friendships they have with the kids they have gone to the Parish schools with.  Our life-long friends are those we went to grammar school and high school with and we want our kids to have the same thing.

A Belief in the Need to Support Catholic Schools – These schools help us forge our community. Not supporting them --- even though it might be a financial burden --- means we might lose them.

The motives of the non-Catholics that want to send their kids to Catholic schools are what exactly?

See the conflict between the two set of motives?

The original question was about how comfortable they would be at BI. Seems like the experience would be fraught with problems to me.
