I know someone who used to teach at Cathedral (before Jackson's time)

Now she lives  in Washington and teaches at Sidwell Friends School  
where her own kids went. According  to her the two schools are much  
alike. Liberal, expensive, children of  well- connected  parents,  
also a high percentage of promising kids from lesser backgrounds who  
are on scholarship. Much outreach.

Most students have  no connection with the  religious affiliation   
of  the schools. (quaker in he case of  Sidwell)
