[quote=Anonymous]I took a quick look at the Blessed Sacrament website and they literally say "our primary goal is to direct the child toward a mature Christian life." That kinda answers your question. We're Jewish and belong to a reform synagogue – and we were real uncomfortable at an Episcopal school (only stayed one year). The issue wasn't the social/political leanings of the school or anyone there – people was kind, open, chatty, my kid got invited to birthday parties, etc. The issue was, at the end of the day, the heart of the school and its traditions came from a religion that wasn't ours. And when you're from a minority religion in a majority space, many people won't even realize how infused those traditions are into school life. Other parents, who absolutely meant well, told us the school was more spiritual and not that religious – and I'm sure that's true from their perspective! But to us, it felt VERY Christian.[/quote]
