Little Langley.

not anymore

Can you elaborate? Just curious.

the school has changed. many more leaving prior to MS or before 8th.

One good thing about little langley..their HS placement has changed for the better. Very solid experience with one person coordinating applications and outreach to families. Very happy with that experience and Langley does have solid attrition to schools...many getting their first choice and very few being wait listed or shut out of their choices.

Maintain adequate rigor.

In my view, the only point in paying private school tuition every year is more rigor than the public schools are offering.

The lifestyle stuff does not attract me at all.

Also, the school offering a chance for a student to keep up with schoolwork when they are sick and have to be absent is something I look for in a private school.

Be competitive with the magnet public school program (or gifted/AAP, whatever it is called in your school district).
