Yes, but I am still going through it.
I finished the sections on religious studies and biology.
Couldn't help but notice the word 'evolution' is never mentioned.
Do they want to de-empahsize that this is taught, or is it not taught?

True, because I have many.

the fact that ST. Paul's can fit Sacred Studies in and still do an excellent job of teaching the other subjects proves that it's not an impossible task to fit it all in
No, I wouldn't say that it is impossible.
But I am not yet convinced that the level of 'excellence' in education that you claim for this school is in fact the case.

Cost is an obstacle to be overcome.
True enough. But given a limited pool of resources for public schools, I would rather see better allocations, to science, math, English and history, than to see a slice cut out of the pie for religious studies. But then I obviously don't place the value on religion that others do.
By the way, isn't St. Paul's a *private* school.
Sure looks like one, although they don't say so explicitly.
