 20-40 years ago, I'd suggest Catholic school if home schooling was not a viable option. But I don't know what that's like these days.

 I went to military school and I remember they required us to satisfy mind, body, and spirit. That entailed having a religious practice, sports, and academics/ military protocols ; as well as having a mentor.
I would do it over if I had the chance it was wonderful.

 Military is also a good option IMO. 
Our family did Catholic schools. And mini me went to one too. I think better then public schools. But definitely a lesser quality then when my sisters and I went. We had a class called penmanship. Seems like an insignificant thing. But it's not.

 I genuinely don't see how anything religious based helps you avoid indoctrination, but that's just me.

 I think it's more finding a balance within your spiritual realm. More than religious doctrine.

 That I can understand. I'm not really a spiritual person, But I can understand finding a balance with your inner self and your outer self.

 The way I see it is that it's easier to eat the meat and leave the bones. In public schools, it's a melange of lab food.

 In summonses, religious doctrine and in doctor nation in general. Fulfill the same basic things.
It's a subservience to authority without questioning the authority.

 I probably would've graduated with higher rank if I hadn't questioned my authority as many times as I did. And Harbor new cadets in my room.

 I began that rejection stage when I was about 16 or 17. It's been downhill ever since. Or was it a spiritual ascension/understanding 🤔
Basically began forging my own path about that age.
