GDS is predominantly Jewish, so no surprise there. GDS also respects Christian holidays as does Barrie School

GDS is NOT predominantly Jewish. Less than 40% of the students at GDS are Jewish. People of all faiths and atheists thrive there.

Sorry but for a non-religious school, 40% is a high number for a minority religion, even for this area.

No need to apologize, but you might want to look up the definition of "predominantly."

Just substitute "disproportionately" for "predominantly".
