Upstairs for Hebrew, Downstairs for English: The Jewish Community of Ste-Sophie, Quebec, and Strategies for Public Education, 1914-1952
|
| Abstract |
The authors contrast the influence on local public education of Jews in Ste-Sophie with Jews in Montreal. In the rural Laurentides community of Ste-Sophie, between 1914 and 1952, Jewish influence on the local school board enabled them to shape the curriculum to an unusual degree. Considered outsiders with regard to Quebec's public school system the province until the 1960s, Jews in Ste-Sophie comprised the majority of the non-Catholic residents. They then succeeded in forming the separate ("Protestant") school board which maintained just one two-room school that catered to the special needs of Jewish children. The board also looked after other aspects of Jewish life in the community. The authors outline the history of the school and analyze the developments that led to its establishment.
