[quote=Anonymous]There is really no “applying out ‘early’” in private school.  You just choose to not return.  We’ve switched from 3 different private schools and the only notification we gave is when the teacher recommendations, transcripts, etc. were requested (even though AISGW does require the parents to notify the current heads of their intent). I imagine your DC’s teacher’s response is because she thinks the timing of the notification is odd.  What did you hope to accomplish by telling her early?
In terms of sharing that you are just exploring your options - you don’t need to discuss anything with them.  Based on typical notification dates of the new schools, you probably will have to make a payment (non-refundable) for next years class given you choose to stay if you are rejected/waitlisted by the other schools.  However, if the school is as under-enrolled as you say, you might risk paying the deposit after you find out the admission results of the other schools. The only “ethical” act would be to notify the current school ASAP of your decision verses waiting until the absolute summer end date.  
Regarding the reaction of the teacher: unfortunately this happens.  Some teachers aren’t professional and will take it out on the kids.  But that is life.  We’ve had this happen and it just reinforces our decision to leave.
