I want my kid to be Jesuit-educated, but he is only in 2nd grade. Are there Jesuit schools for kids in elementary?

      Good to know it's out there....I'm going to start investigating right away. I got some good leads on the "Catholic" tribe, too.

      Adso, I understand your concern, but I don't want a "catholic" education for my son. I want a Jesuit education, which is one of the best kinds of educations you can get. those guys are pretty liberal, generally speaking, and smart as anything.

        Yikes! I just tried to look up famous people educated by Jesuits, and all I could find was Stalin, Castro, and James Joyce. There has to be more out there.......

            HHmmmmm, Jesuit homeschooling...........The thought never occured to me. No I didn't google jesuit elementary schools yet. I will try. My other thought has been to start my own (secular) school. I am kicking a bunch of ideas around right now....

              Actually, my son DOES act a bit like Stalin sometimes, especially when he was around two years old. He's getting better now, though.

                Ellen, I had a Jesuit spiritual director for a few years and he remains my favorite priest. Literate, articulate, curious. I wish I'd had the education he received as a kid.
