(TRT) Paris’s only Muslim school was shut down by French authorities while pressure continues to increase on Europe’s largest Muslim community.
MHS College and High School is a private secondary in Paris, originally established in 2015. Although the school is officially secular and follows the national curriculum, its students are predominantly Muslim.
One of the school’s founders spoke to TRT World on the condition of anonymity saying that “we are an open school to all cultures, religion, convictions, origins,” adding that “we don’t teach any courses around religion.”
A unique feature of the school, however, is that it allows its female students to follow their religious convictions and wear the hijab if they wish, “because we think that everybody should wear the clothes they want!” said the founder of the MHS.
