No, I don't think you're being a hypocrite. Reality requires compromise, and if it's the only school which is any good I can totally understand it.
I suspect they will try to indoctrinate, at least subliminally and through immersion. It may not be explicit, but it will be there. They're not going to be presenting a balanced, critical examination of catholicism. Put it that way! If you think your daughter is mentally strong enough not to cave in, then it should be fine. Indoctrination tends to primarily take place in the home anyhow.
Of course, she may decide to become a catholic, but that's always a possibility. Personally, you could have sent me to the most religious school you liked and it would have bounced right off me. I'd have taken the education part and ignored the rest.
The other way to look at it is that sooner or later your daughter will be exposed to religion anyway, you can't protect her from getting "contaminated". So as long as they're not in her face about it and pressuring her, and she's old enough not to get passively brainwashed, it sounds cool to me.
All of this, but...
It's not so much the school or the teachers/administration that I'd be worried about, but the peer pressure. Kids will follow where other kids lead far more readily than they will follow the teachers...
