[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would a Jewish child fit in socially?[/quote]

Depends on how social he is, I guess. And how much he has in common with the other kids in terms of interests.

Many of his classmates will already know one another from Parochial grammar schools, from the neighborhoods or from sports teams like youth football and CYO basketball.

Go to a St John's home basketball game and look at the composition of the crowd and how they behave and see if you can say, "I can see my son in this group". If you can, than he'll be alright. If not, than there is room for concern.[/quote]

NP: Does everyone go to the games? My kid doesn't like to play sports much, and certainly has zero interest in watching others play sports. Surely in a school that big there wold be a sizeable group of kids with other things to do besides go to sporting events? I hope? Fingers crossed.[/quote]

My kid does not go to games. We are not Catholic. He loves SJC. He plays xbox, goes to homecoming, does normal teen things with his friends. Theology is a tough class, taught in an academic fashion, not religious. You will see Fox News on the lunch room TVs when visiting the school. Let him explore and decide. The school recently highlughted  a Jewish grad  in its alumni magazine. I wish he had more Jewish classmates at SJC. [/quote]
