History / Biographical
The Jewish Peretz Schools, originally called the National Radical School, was founded in Montreal in 1913. The curriculum and mandate of the school were similar to those of the Folk Shule (Jewish People's Schools), providing Yiddish and Hebrew studies, regular secular studies, including progress, science, justice and social issues, and a Jewish education of language, literature, history and folklore. The differences were in the added emphasis on Yiddish and on Jewish culture as opposed to religion. Loyalty to Israel and to the Jewish people was also stressed. The school began as afternoon and evening classes, then expanded to a day school (1940), nursery (1959) and a high school. The school changed locations several times and nearly closed in the 1950s due to financial difficulties. It merged with the Jewish People's Schools in 1971.
