I don't know if it's still around, but I used to read Cricket. I don't remember what age group it was targeted at.
Answering the Catholic thread in the same post, I thought I had a leg up on my peers when I moved from Catholic elementary and middle school to parochial high school, because of the religion classes, which often were more history classes than anything else. We had to go to mass on Fridays, and around 13-17 some of the schools will start getting the kids ready for Confirmation, so your kid will miss out on the retreats and extra classes (unless, of course he wants to four of the seven sacraments in one fell swoop).
