Looking for a "real" Catholic school in Orange County, CA area

[bozzie]

Hello, My family and I are new to the Orange County, Ca area and are desperate to find an actually Catholic Catholic School for our children. We are currently renting and have flexibility to commute to a Catholic School ( if need be) in San Bernadino County( Corona area) or Los Angeles County ( La Mirada area) if Orange County doesn’t have authentic Catholic Schools.
I am concerned about a program the diocese of Orange Catholic schools use called Family Life and the religion series they use is also published by RCL/Benziger. These materials have a liberal/new age feel to them and expose children early to sensitive material. I am not in favor of that publisher and their family life program.
Does anyone have any ideas or web-sites, anything to help point me in the right direction.
Thank you so very much for any thoughts you may have!

Hi, welcome and it looks like you are new! The best way to look for the right Catholic school for you is to do the foot work yourself by calling and visiting different Catholic schools, talking with the principal and priests. Honestly, that will be the best way to investigate schools yourself, have your children to a shadow day etc. I’m not sure what you mean be “real” but if there are programs you are uncomfortable with, they usually have an opt out with them and again that is something you will have to look into.
