No German in a school of the Jewish faith

Some years ago I called to a school of the Jewish faith asking if they might have some German hours available. At the time I was seeking part-time hours teaching German and/or English in a post primary school.

When I called to the school I was greeted by the person at reception; she asked me what my business was, I explained I was a German and English teacher and wondering  might the school have some hours in German available. The woman looked at me, expressing surprise before she said that it was a Jewish school and they did not teach German.

I recall at the time being shocked with her comment. I did not call back. I’m still wondering if it is school policy.

One would hope it was the person’s personal opinion and not school policy.
