Inside Jewish Day Schools
A perfect guide to those wishing to understand the contemporary Jewish day school.

Discipline, Devotion, and Dissent
The education provided by Canada’s faith-based schools is a subject of public, political, and scholarly controversy. As the population becomes more religiously diverse, the continued establishment and support of faith-based schools has reignited debates about whether they should be funded publicly and to what extent they threaten social cohesion. These discussions tend to occur without considering a fundamental question: How do faith-based schools envision and enact their educational missions?

The daily reality of these schools is illuminated thr...
