^^ Gonzaga and Santa Clara are two well regarded West Coast Jesuit schools. With the Jesuits, it’s very much about intellectually searching for answers, service to others, building community, and making the world starting with your own community a better place. My D is at a Jesuit school. Chapel is not required, only 1 religion class is required with lots of interesting topics to choose from. Some kids are more religious than others, but a large percentage participate in community service. Jesuits focus on social justice issues, so with that, many of their ideologies are far from conservative. I think many of the Jesuit schools may feel less 'religious ’ than other Catholic schools.
