St. Marks School of Texas and Hockaday are non-denominational schools so some similarity

da-AL I am so sorry I missed this comment. I saw it when I went back and looked at my old posts. But anyway, religion was part of the curriculum and I believe it still is. However, you study all of the religions around the world. Christinianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Shinto, Confucianism, Jainism, indigenous beliefs, spiritism, agnositicism and atheism. It is not like sunday school. It is more like Geography. You go around the world and familiarize yourself with different traditions, the history of the religions and something about the beliefs. It is all equal. No religion is better than the other.

Thank you so much Debbie. We had a good trip. It is interesting to do tourism in your own country. About royalties, it is the same in Sweden. The tabloids/newspapers cover royalty from the other nordic countries and other European countries too, and sometimes Thailand, Japan and Bhutan, but in the US it is only the British Royal family.

Looking forward to reading more about it. 🙂 Interesting to learn about the Swedish royal family. You’re right, most people in North America are fascinated by the British monarchy. When I lived in Germany (1960s), the tabloids were full of stories about all royals, including Scandinavian, Dutch, and especially Monégasque.

A stunning picture. I must share my pictures about Norwegian royalty. You have inspired me.
