[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live very close to the school. We've heard mixed things but still considering looking. FWIW, we are white but not Jewish. This would be for both middle and high schools.

Two related questions: 
Can non-Jewish kids gain admission? 
What is the social environment like if you are non-Jewish?[/quote]

Yes, you don't have to be Jewish to be admitted. They'd probably like some diversity.

Just like a Catholic school will be overwhelmingly Catholic, a Jewish school will be overwhelmingly Jewish.

I am Jewish and I think it's sweet you'd consider this. Elon Musk briefly attended a Jewish school as a child. [/quote]

As catholic as a catholic school may be, a Jewish school will be exponentially more Jewish.  I'm Jewish and I'd sooner send my kids to a catholic school than a Jewish one.  Too much religious education, not enough time for regular education.  Too narrowing an experience (based on my friends who attended a Jewish school, which admittedly was a long time ago).  [/quote]
