I noted the school in question was “Friends School” in Philadelphia. A typical modernist, expensive, elitist puppy mill that decades ago abandoned its mainline religious/protestant roots.
I took my oldest daughter to a similar school in our city for an open-house, as she was preparing to enter high school. I asked one of the trustees on hand if there was any particular religious ethos that guided the school, particularly in their many courses about “social justice” or “rights.”
He sniggered like I was some kind of caveman and said “no, no - none of that stuff”

I had a similar experience when I was visiting TCU. When the coed guiding the tour said, "Let's talk about the C in TCU..."
The reference was that was one of their founding principles but NOW, we are an inclusive campus so it doesn't matter if you're Bhuddist, Christian or Muslim you're welcome at TCU.
Uggghhhh!

Ah! What this snickering administrator ( supposedly "educated") fails to acknowledge is that it is impossible for a sentient being to be religiously neutral. It is also impossible for a school to be religiously neutral. His school **does** have a religious ethos that guides their courses. That "religious ethos" is godless secular humanism!
Godless secular humanism is just as religious in content and consequences as is any other religious worldview!
