In my experience OLV kids could cut it at the Big Three. Less catechism and more focus on essay writing and science would make that even more so. I cannot say the same thing for the Little Flower, I’m sorry. Many OLV families can’t or won’t pay the fees of the Big Three but could get in (unlike some of the others). My advice for anyone in these schools is to mix it up and not do parochial all the way trough.

Nothing too bad. One the one hand some studies show that religious education is a positive for mental health. On the other hand being exposed to only one system that strongly influences the curriculum (unlike in some other parochial systems) at the expense of some other skills might not be the best choice for all of the years of schooling because at College typically it’s a lot more diverse. So mixing it up strengthens the person and makes them more rounded is a fair conclusion. There are many though who say that they have a permanent sense of gilt from this school system or that it has affected their ability to form intimate relationships easily. You hear that very often from young adults or even older adults.

Then there’s this guy: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/out-the-ooze/201504/the-macabre-side-growing-catholic TBH some of the OLV assignments we saw were not far off what he describes

We seriously considered it including because we like the values and ultimately decided that we wanted a mix because of wanting coed especially in high school and a bit less of a rigid thinking system throughout.[/quote]
