[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 151451, member: 805"] I share many of klmno's opinions. You can't make a decison about a school until you make the visits. You need to go and sit in on some classes and meet the administrators to get a real feel for what the philiosophy is of the school and what an average day will be like for your daughter. Don't go on some predetermined visiting day - go on a regular school day so it's real. As far as the Catholic school, I've never known one that doesn't take students of all denominations - you may pay more than a student who is a member of their sponsoring parish, but that's normal. Only thing I would say about most private schools (meaning parochial) is there is often not funding or training for special needs kids. I would visit yourself and ask a lot of "what ifs" at both schools and then take your daughter for a little visit as well. Sharon [/QUOTE]
