Vechta, Germany. Students who studied German had the opportunity to spend the first semester of their junior year studying at the Leibfrauenschule to further their understanding of the German language and culture. The Japanese Language School of Cleveland (JLSC; クリーブランド日本語補習校 Kurīburando Nihongo Hoshūkō), a weekend Japanese supplementary school for Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans, previously held its classes in Regina High School. At the time its offices were in Hudson, and later, Twinsburg. Curriculum The school offered a variety of AP and Honors courses, some of which can be taken as college credit because of the school's affiliation with Notre Dame College. News In October 2009 it was announced that the school planned on closing its doors after the graduation of the class of 2010. A letter from the Board of Directors stated that economic downturn and drops in enrollment were the reason for the closing. The school faced scrutiny in 2003 when it barred a Muslim student from wearing a hijab to school, citing the dress code which stated that "[n]o hats, no bandannas or head wraps are permitted." The principal, Sr. Maureen Burke, said "I feel very bad about this situation. I've agonized over it[.]" The student, Amal, told the press, "[a]ll along, they gave me a room to pray in. They asked me questions about Islam. They always accepted me for who I was. Now they have decided it is against school policy to wear my hijab."
