[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Jewish daughter is wrapping up her freshman year at Stone Ridge and my older daughter went there for a few years as well (transferred out for chronic health issues). It's been a wonderful experience! We find it very welcoming and, while it is definitely a Catholic school, we don't find that it's over the top religious, nor does it feel like there's an agenda they are trying to push. I definitely recommend taking a look and seeing what you think. Also, the head of upper school (Mr. McCluskey) is awesome, does a lot of work with the Anti Defamation League, and is worth talking to about your interest and concerns. https://www.instagram.com/p/DHYjCPDsLn4/[/quote]

What percentage of the students are Jewish? Do they tend to find one another? Are there Catholic religion classes or worship services? Christian references to Jesus throughout day or at events?  How does the school handle Jewish kids being absent for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?

And if other readers here want to respond to those questions regarding other Catholic schools, I think that would be interesting information for this conversation.  [/quote]
