[quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are Jewish students at GZA, and quite a few who have one Jewish parent but may not identify as Jewish. SJC and St. Anselm's are both Catholic schools with quite a few Jewish students. Some come for the athletics, others just because it is a good education. An observation (anecdotal, but the sample size is large enough to identify a trend). I have observed that Jewish students at Catholic schools tend to come from religious families, and secular Jews are less likely to attend a Catholic school. I think it may have to do with the religious Jews being more comfortable with organized religion in general, and perhaps less worried about conversion because they know their kids already have a strong faith tradition, whereas a secular Jewish kid may be drawn to conversion to fill a void. The schools do not attempt to convert anyone. But, exposure can sometimes lead one in that direction. [/quote]
