| Does anyone have any insight on whether there are any/many Jewish students at Gonzaga and if so, do they feel comfortable? |

| There have been some over the years. Don't know how many if any are there now. |

| There is a lacrosse player who is Jewish. He is fine and loves the school. I don't think there are many though...this is the only one I know of. Most boys are Catholic, obviously. |

Seems like it would be more productive to ask the GZA Admissions people this question.
It's almost certainly a very small number out of 1,000 total students. We had two boys go there and we are unaware of any. It's an overwhelmingly Catholic school except for the AAs who tend not to be Catholic. |

| The Gonzaga valedictorian a number of years ago was a Jewish student. |

| I don't know about Gonzaga, but as a former Catholic school lifer, it was frankly refreshing to have some diversity and escape the homogeneity of backgrounds. (We had some Shia Muslims whose families fled Iran etc. ) And my school never forced them to go attend any Masses. Not sure how religious classes were handled though. Basically, the point is that I would think a Jesuit school like Gonzaga would be quite open to other faiths. |

They're probably looking for a private school. This one happens to be Catholic. - Jewish grad of CUA |

There is a reason there are religious schools. Families want their kids surrounding by their cult. If you want diversity, go to a secular school. Are there Muslims, Buddhists, and Catholics at Jewish Day School? Nope |

| No. There might be one. I wouldn't go there if you are Jewish. |
