[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how long do you expect your DD to attend this school? Only for 1st grade?[/quote]

I don't know. I was considering it long term.  But I won't send her there if they won't teach real science.

I'm just curious about the religions schools... if they teach from the religious point of view (which they should, if they're truly religious), then how to they students pass SAT and ACT tests?

My boss's son got into MIT, majoring in biomedical engineering, after attending a Catholic school.  How on Earth did he study sciences there?[/quote]

Catholic schools do not subscribe to this rejection of science. I'm betting this school you're considering is not Catholic. There is no comparison between the Catholic tradition of education and what the new earth creationists, usually Baptists, subscribe to.
- not a Catholic[/quote]

+1 some of history's greatest thinkers and scientists were Catholic- Galileo, Descartes, Copernicus, Louis Pasteur, Gregor Mendel, Blaise Pascal...[/quote]

You forgot Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian Jesuit priest who proposed Big Bang...

OP--Catholic here.  Creationism drives me crazy and looking at history as God's providential plan also is crazy making.  But I agree with PP that none of this comes into play until around 4th grade, so if you wanted to keep your child in this school through third grade I don't think it would be terrible.  If you could find a Catholic school and you are okay with that, that could be another cheaper way to go here.  But check the math curriculum--some use Saxon, but not all do.  Singapore Math is an equally good choice for math.[/quote]
