Hello all,
New guy on the site. I thought I'd chime in on this one.
I work for a private Christian school. Now, our school is not devoted to any sect of Christianity and welcomes all Christians--actually, it welcomes anyone who wishes to attend who can pass the standard testing.
Our school has required religious studies classes, which I'm sure you all expected. But let me inform you of the science classes.
Our school is built around the foundation of scholarship. Parents may want their children to attend for the Christian environment, but they also know that we will provide them with the education to give them the best chance of success in the real world.
Hence, Evolutionary Theory is taught precisely as science has described it. There is no Intelligent Design or Creationism taught in science class. Religious Studies do cover the basics of other belief systems, but not in so much detail or "intolerance" as to criticize such beliefs.
Because of this strict curriculum and its stringent course load, our students have been successful. We have now placed students in almost every Ivy League University and recently had an acceptance to MIT.
I believe in this forethought because our children should be given the best chance to succeed in life. They can decide other matters on their own.
Thanks for listening.
