The value of religious education is that it provides every youngster with a foundation for making life decisions. Parents are expected to be involved. Religious schools claim that parents are more involved with their children and the school than at public schools. They support not only the school and the church, but they take an interest in the children and what they are learning. They want to be in the classrooms, and we encourage them to volunteer when possible.
Admission is typically by entrance exam.
Admission isn't automatic at the great majority of religious schools. We're not an elitist school, but we just want to make sure our kids can handle the type of programs that we offer. Discipline is tougher than at the public schools. Since religious schools are free from many of the state's school regulations, they are free to treat discipline problems differently than the public schools. Many have a zero-tolerance policy and will expel a student for behavior problems.
