[quote=Anonymous]There are PLENTY of Jewish families at Beauvoir.  My kids were not the only practicing ones, and greatly enjoyed sharing latkes before winter break and having mini seders there every year.  And there are plenty of Jewish families at NCS and STA too.  Don't just get your advice from these Boards!  Ask the admissions office to recommend families to speak to about this kind of issue (whether same sex family, different religion, single parent, whatever).  You can get the scoop from speaking directly to someone who was in your shoes.

People ask us all the time why would we go to these schools as a Jewish family.  Interestingly, the rabbis at our temple never ask that, as they know the answer:  they are great schools and welcome people of all faiths.  In fact, I think my kids have a stronger sense of their Jewish identity by being at these schools.

Let me qualify plenty before people say more.  We have never felt like we were alone, swimming in some sea of WASPs.  We felt welcomed, we felt part of the community, we felt our heritage was respected and we continue to feel these things.  [/quote]
