Private schools, out of state, not religious?

Catholic Schools tend to excel over all other schools in academics and extracurriculars. The balance of faith and knowledge is key. Over the course of history the Catholic Church developed the academic method, science, philosophy, arts, etc.... This reflects today. The Catholic approach to a well rounded life encourages good extracurriculars. The compassion of teachers who dedicate their lives to service as they see teaching as a vocation, not a job, makes a difference. Children are not as bad to one another as in the public schools as Catholic ones teach the difference between right and wrong. Do any googling on it, and you will see it is true. It is a blessing to go to a Catholic school and these benefits are open to, and enjoyed by, people of all faith (or no faith) backgrounds.
