强烈推荐看看普來姆教育的Andrew老师前一段时间做的有关美国私立学校和各类宗教之间的关系，非常学术，一定要请一下。点击收听：http://www.findingschool.net/bbs/thread/660 会有很大收获的。

很棒的问题。Episcopal 在亚洲只有在台湾有。It was organized after American Revolution, 这个宗教比较forward thinking,想法和别的宗教较前卫, 学校的宗旨大多是college prep, 我觉的正是这个原因，他们的学术，师资和生源要比较好。但和 independent school 比起来，他们还是要上圣经课。

Episcopal or Anglican Church is the Church of England. When the Catholic Church ruled the most of Europe, the Kings of England decided to revolt the authority of the Catholic Church and found their own church in the sixteenth century.

Episcopal Church has a very strong tradition of emphasizing on human reason, while understanding that is a true gift from God, as a tool to reveal God's grace and works in human history. Therefore, any episcopal schools and academic institutions tend to focus on academic success which encourages human curiosity and reason power. No wonder to see many great universities in England starting from this Anglican tradition.

Episcopal schools, private and secondary schools in USA, England, and other countries continue to foster this tradition and have been known for their academic strength.

Religious schools tend to offer more ethical education based on their religious belief along with academic curriculum. The type of their ethical/religious education at religious school varies. I recommend students and their parents to look into schools carefully before making the final decision.

圣公会是英国教会。当天主教教会统治大部分欧洲国家时，英国国王决定反抗天主教教会的权威，并在16世纪建立他们自己的教会。
圣公会教会有一个很强的传统即强调人类的理性，认为理解是而来自上帝的礼物，作为一种工具，用来揭示神的恩典并在人类历史中发挥作用。因此，任何主教学校和学术机构往往把重点放在学业上的成功，鼓励人类的好奇心和理性力量。难怪我们会看到英国许多名牌大学都起源于英国国教。
在美国、英国、其他国家的私立主教中学里，继续发扬这一传统，他们的学术实力广为人知。
宗教学校往往会基于他们的宗教信仰，在进行学术课程的同时提供更多的道德教育。他们的伦理/宗教教育，会根据宗教学校的类型有所不同。我建议学生和家长在作出最后决定之前，请仔细研究学校。
