I work for a school that does that not accept a dime of government money. We write, produce, and teach our own curriculum on the Classical model. We are accredited by three independent agencies.  While recognized by the state as a school, we are not beholden to them in what, how, or who we teach.  We obliged only to obey city fire, health, safety, and zoning laws, same as any business or public building.  

There are many sacrifices. I will probably never retire.  I'm poor as far as worldly standards. We don't have luxurious facilities. We aren't "up to date" with students using technology.  (Students are not permitted to carry phones.  They are turned off and kept in the office until dismissal time.) 

We cover US grades K - 8.  At present, all but grades 3 and 7 are full. There are two seats in grade 3, one in grade 7.  The school opened in September of 1948 in response to concerned parents.  We're proof it CAN be done.

So keep an "eye ball" on St John Bosco school in Calgary, will they tighten their belts and roll up their sleeves and suffer for the sake of their children and educate them without the moral influence of government funding or will they try to sneak another half a million and force sodomite principals down the throats of the children, or will they say "We cannot survive without gαy money from the government." and shut the school down. If they shut down the parents will have 3 choices, public or NO private schools (which have the GSA policy) or homeschool. 
These parents and children need prayers.

According to the school's website:

"About Us
St. John Bosco Private School is an independent school affiliated with the Alberta Charitable Society of St. Pius X.  The majority of the students come from St. Dennis Parish, however, Catholic and non-Catholic students from the community may apply for enrollment.  Students are transported to school by their parents.  Traditional Catholic teachings are emphasized and the Alberta Program of Studies is followed."

What's the "Alberta Program of Studies" which "is followed?"

Here's the website: https://education.alberta.ca/topic-search?searchMode=3

Here's what the program stipulates for Catholic schools:

"RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (ROMAN CATHOLIC/UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC) 15–25–35 AND RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD 35
In Catholic schools, students participate in a religious education program that is authorized by the Bishops of Alberta. Catholic high schools offer Religious Education (Roman Catholic) 15–25–35 and Religions of the World 35. In Catholic high schools offering the Religious Education (Ukrainian Catholic) program, students participate in a religious education program that is authorized by the Bishop of the local eparchy.
