Whitmore is not advertised as a Christian-based school. It is not advertised as being supported by, or endorsed by the Mormon Church either. The only mention of the Mormon Church was: Mark and Cheryl Sudweeks attend the Mormon Church, and if you wish for your child to go with them, they will need a dress or skirt, if a girl--since pants are not acceptable attire. There was no mention that attendance at the Mormon Church would be mandatory--WHICH IT WAS!
