It was his father who allowed his kids to study at the school. Back in 2012, the School of Rock star said in an interview with Team Cocco that he was on, “so much stress about where they’re gonna go to school.”
And eventually, Jack who identifies as nominally Jew decided to take his kids to that school.

Father Jack’s Relaxed Approach to Parenting to His Sons
In late 2019, the veteran comedian and actor revealed something about his parenting style in a talk with Australian radio duo Fitzy and Wippa on Nova 96.9. He admitted that he allows his children to watch mature content in movies and TV shows only “if they’re really begging to see it.”
In the meantime, the actor has also fixed some conditions up to let his kids watch such on-screen projects. He said.
“As long as you have the remote in hand so if something gets out of control, you can pause and have a little talk. As long as you’re there and aware of what’s going on and you’re ready to talk to them or ready to leave if it’s too intense.”
