The Family School was founded in 1993 by seven Chicago-area
families of Catholic Jewish intermarriage. Since its inception, the
Family School has graduated over 70 children of interfaith
families. The school is not intended to be a family’s sole form
of religious activity, but rather to supplement other choices
each family makes. Regardless of those choices, the school is
a community of children and adults who acknowledge that both
Judaism and Catholicism are meaningful ways to find God.

The Family School program provides a foundation for Jewish
and Catholic faith as children grow into adults. Students who
have graduated and chosen to reflect on their experience
describe a sense of confidence and self realization
about their combined heritage, traditions, history and values.
Parents have also described the value of the school for their families.

To learn more about Tthe Family School, we invite you to
explore our website, our brochure and an article that appeared
in the Chicago Tribune.
