[quote=Anonymous]I'm a secular Jew and have had our two kids there for the last two years. We love the school and don't find it to be Christian in orientation at all. There's a substantial minority of Muslim families as well. Kids are introduced to the Old Testament in the 3rd grade (hard for any Jew to argue with, even a secular one!) and last year my son learned all about the saints. As a previous poster said, the emphasis is on what drives people to be holy, good, and spiritual, not on some narrow definition of canonized Christian sainthood. Kids of that age are deeply interested in good and evil, so I think it makes sense to address it in the curriculum. In the 3rd grade the kids build a sukkah, as part of the emphasis in the curriculum on building shelters. There is great respect for all religious traditions from the teachers and the administration. Please let me know if I've answered your question! [/quote]
