It is forbidden to accept an invitation that includes evil acts such as immodest display, mixing of sexes, and drinking alcohol, whether the invitation is from a Muslim or a non-believer. However, if the invitation is free of evil acts, there is no impediment to accepting it, even if it is in a church, provided that the purpose is to win hearts and invite people to Islam. One must be cautious of the influence of such schools on the daughter's عقيدة (creed/faith) and behavior.
