[quote=cmezoughem@gmail.com]While I was raised Episcopal, my family currently is not.  But we are extremely happy at WES!  I have no personal experience with SAES to draw any comparison which was the true question.  Thus, I don't think I can give any particular insight.....but rather a suggestion....

Given the importance of the decision about where to attend school and that you are asking particularly about the faith aspect (which also means it is important to you!) - why not call up the admissions folks at both schools and ask to arrange a one-on-one with each schools' chaplain?  Yes, time consuming!  But it may be well worth your time!  I would like to think that both schools would understand (if not appreciate!) that you value the Episcopal principles of the school and would be happy to help you in your process.

While talking to the chaplains (theoretical) may be slightly different than what you would experience in practice, it could help answer some of your questions.  Ask about curriculum and chapels and so forth.  Hear it from the source itself.  (Since it seems everyone loves to speculate on DCUM!)

At a minimum maybe you could get a sense of how well you think you (and your child) might "connect" with the respective chaplains.  Besides home and your church, which chaplain do you think better matches what you are looking for?

Just an idea.  :)[/quote]
