[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP -- I am a current BS parent. I actually don't know the religion of my child's classmates - some may be Jewish, atheist, Episcopalian, etc. for all I know. DH and I both Catholic. I'd just say you will need to embrace the religious aspects of the education. I'm not suggesting that you'd embrace it to the point of conversion, but showing respect and talking about it as you'd talk about history or other subjects, and discussing it with your kid to compare and contrast with the Jewish faith and how your family practices religion. I think it would be hard for a kid to be taught one thing during the day, and then have it dismissed as silly or wrong when they get home, so finding a way to meaningfully navigate your differences with what's taught in school will be important.

I'd agree with statements made from PPs who discussed the multigenerational ties to the school. There's a lot of that. You can view it as pro or a con. There are a lot of families who are deeply invested in the school's success and put a lot of their time and resources into it. [/quote]

I guarantee the kids know. [/quote]
