Abstract
This article compares the linkages between organizational structure, power
relations, and group identities within the private schools operated by the
francophone Jewish communities of Brussels, Paris, and Geneva.1 A school’s
organizational structure and balance of power reflect its identity and its
conceptual world. That is, its organizational structure reflects the forces operating
within the school system, the power wielded by various actors, and the
relationships existing between the system and the actors. A school’s balance
of power is thus a practical manifestation of its inherent political inclination
and identity. The main concern in this article is to analyze the ways in which
the structural organization of the school influences the allocation of power
and the school’s identity, and how this identity affects structural aspects of the
curriculum
