Question

Do you have to be Catholic in order for your child to attend a Catholic preschool?

Answer 1

Why would you want your child to attend a catholic school if your not catholic??? I'm not sure that the school would turn you away but you are required to attend mass so is this something your willing to do even though its not your religion?

Answer 2

No.

But Catholic families who live and are active in the parish will be given priority in registration.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

No.  (At least you didn't when I was attending Catholic schools in the 80s and 90s......)

Answer 4

I went to a Roman Catholic school because I lived in a not so good area and my parents wanted me to go private. This was the 80s and 90s and we had people from all religions. But we did have to attend mass and studly religion so if that's not an issue for you then I see no reson why they cannot go to a Catholic school.

Answer 5

I don't know if you have to be catholic but i do know that you have to be a preschooler.  

(lol).

Answer 6

No. I babysit for 4 kids, all of whom are Anglican like I am (that's how I ended up with this gig), and they all attend the local private Catholic elementary school. It's not based on your religion.

Just bear in mind...

~Your child will be required to attend Mass every week, and Religion and Catechism are taught.

~Tuition is expensive, as are uniforms.

Answer 7

I juuuust got back from a Christian preschool about 10 minutes ago and asked about that.

As you can see from my screen name, religion is just not my thing.

I'm under the impression that your child is welcome no matter what. Depending on how much YOU are willing to put up with...I'm not looking forward to her learning stuff I don't believe in.
