Send your kids for sciences and engineering and only schools that take sciences and engineering seriously.
Both Christendom and TAC grads have gone on to graduate schools in STEM. There is nothing wrong with getting a solid liberal arts education. If you just want a job, then by all means live off campus and just take STEM courses somewhere. I have a political science & economics degree, and it hasn't stopped me from having a full career in IT. Nor has it stopped the Philosophy, Humanities, Sociology, English and History majors I have known in my career.
A good education in the Liberal Arts is still a good education, and is closer to what the Founding Fathers had. Education can be a good in and of itself, and not just a job training program.

I agree we know to know where Western Civilization came From including arts of Ancient Rome and Greece and the renaisNce. Problem is your particular school may require a class in maplethorpe. There must be a happy medium with no perversions like him or even Picasso
Picasso never showed a version of Guernica where they explained the thousands of Catholic nuns and priests defiled then executed by the Marxist

The first known person to be compelled to study Aristotelian philosophy by his father was the a son of King Philip of Macedon, who really had wanted to major in world conquest, but did ok anyway (I give talks pitching liberal arts to high school students a few times a year—it’s a good line provided the students know who Philip of Macedon is . . .
As far Christendom and TAC as graduates go, the same can be said of all 6 of the Catholic schools on the list.
How TAC came to be ranked sixth of the lot, I am intrigued to know. But there are some TAC grads that I can’t wait to tell . . .
