[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How Catholic is it for a non-Catholic student?  (do those get in? I feel like I know some families whose kids are there who aren't Catholic but not sure how much of an anomaly they are).  Also wondering how welcome kids of same sex parents feel.  thx![/quote]

Trying to escape the DC publics but refusing to move to the suburbs at any cost, eh? [/quote]

Didn't realize I should expect shaming for considering independent schools on the.....independent schools board.  Thanks for the super helpful feedback on the school! :roll: [/quote]

What is offensive is these people asking “how Catholic” is a Catholic school. Change that religion to Jewish and how does that sound?[/quote]

I always think of that too.  All the non-Catholics want to use the Catholics to get a quality education on the lower price tag side--but then wants to bash them every other way.

It's a Catholic school. There will be mass.  There will be required religion courses and service requirements.  They are welcoming, but primarily serve Catholic students.  I would hope the people coming to use the schools for the education would at least be respectful of the religion.

I don't think asking about the daily impact of the Church at the school is an indication of a lack of respect for the religion.  It's a curiosity about a community and school that would be very new to us so I'm trying to understand. I didn't indicate any bashing of the religion or its followers. [/quote]
