At St. Jean's, the school encourages us to share our cultures with others in order to provide a better understanding of one another. This is done by having a prayer read in several different languages during mass. Students also work together through fundraising and community service events held throughout the school year, and through class projects. Within our school community, most of the faculty wants us to have an open mind about the people who come from different cultures and different religious backgrounds. Even though St. Jean's is a Catholic school, it accepts students of varied religious backgrounds.
Most teachers also accept students for who they are and for what they believe in.
There was one experience at my school that I will never forget, however. Last year, as a sophomore at St. Jean's, my religion class was discussing several different religions of the world. This discussion lasted for the whole period among the students. The teacher was rather quiet. Toward the end of the period, the teacher had stated that people who do not believe in the same God that Christians believe in are sinners and will most likely go to Hell.
