[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the 1960s, yes, but today and for many years prior, all of the Episcopal schools that you listed are financially independent from churches.

That’s not true of Catholic schools. Parish members receive discounts on tuition at the vast majority of these schools, and they are not independent. [/quote]

The poster who is so hung up on funding really needs to let this go. Everyone knows that Catholic schools are heavily subsidized by the Catholic Church and their missions are first to educate Catholic kids. I do not consider these negatives.

Some Episcopalian schools do get funding from the diocese, but it typically isn’t close to level as Catholic church’s subsidizing catholic schools. it seems like everyone knows this. Everyone agrees on this. Why one poster is just completely stuck on Episcopalian schools not getting any funding at all I don’t know. My kid goes to a school owned by the diocese. As a kid I went to a different school owned by the diocese. I was also on the board. I know how their funding works. No, it’s not at the level of SJC or Gonzaga or Bishop O’Connell, but they do get funding.

Why are the Catholics cheaper? Exactly because of the level of money coming from the church. and considering that these schools have a mission to first and foremost to educate Catholic kids it is getting more competitive (esp at the high school level). Some of the big Catholic HS around here have excellent facilities and are impressive. [/quote]
