[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are not many (if any) *protestant*  parochial schools that offer an “outreach” model in the area (e.g., ones that welcome skeptics/non-believers and accept the challenge of conversion to faith by proxy). Those Christian schools in our area tend to be more of a “discipleship” model that are comprised of families of believers who have selected an educational environment for their kids that will strengthen and support their already-present faith foundation that reinforces the faith shared and practiced in their home. This is something that can’t be provided in the public schools for said families, so they are turning to these schools for that need.
Unfortunately, not only would it not be a good fit for your child/family, but it also would be a disruptive discomfort to other families. Most schools that fall under this category screen new families pretty heavily though, so he’d likely not be offered a spot once you disclose your lack of faith or church connection anyway.

There may be some Catholic privates in the area that may not require a specific profession of faith though. So that could be a good place to start?

As near as i can tell, all of the several local Episcopal schools are quite tolerant of non believers and people of different faiths. They still will require Episcopal religion classes, but do not require or expect religious conversion. Episcopal are a mainstream Protestant denomination.

I am not sure if any local Episcopal would be a good fit for OP's DC. In any case, this is a somewhat older thread. [/quote]
