[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attempts at conversion would seem to be the least of what the OP ought to be concerned about.

The Catholic boys at Gonzaga are a homogeneous crowd. Many are connected to the school, went to the same set of middle schools and have similar family backgrounds.

No one is going to be overtly unkind to a classmate who comes from a different religion and culture.

But then boys of high school age hang around and are friends with others they have something in common with. The more things they have in common, including background and interests, the better.

So how would a Muslim boy, who is from a newly-arrived family, fare in this environment? It’s possible he would find himself socially isolated after finding few with whom he has much in common.

Consider the case of alcohol consumption. Alcohol is part of many Catholic cultures, especially the Irish, and the boys bring this with them to high school.

Seems like a strange choice for the OP. It’s not the public schools and it is cheaper than the secular privates, but there are plenty of thorns on this particular rose bush.[/quote]

First, why are you so focused on Gonzaga? It may not be a good fit for, OP, but there are plenty of schools that would be.

Second, are you seriously playing this drunken Irish trope in 2023?[/quote]
