[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry about it, even if you work FT. You can do the "research" on a Saturday. I did. The web searching will take a minimal amount of time. Plug in your parameters in terms of private/parochial/distance and you'll come up with a few schools. Narrow it by age range. Some won't start until K, some will end at grade 6 or 8, some will go through 12... Some will be single sex... How far out are you looking for? You can start there. You'd be amazed at how rapidly your list narrows to a few schools. Transportation. Some have buses. Some don't. Do you care? From there you can narrow by hours. Some have extended hours and some don't. Does that matter to you? Does that narrow your list? Now it gets much more manageable because your list is much smaller. Compare size, curricula, extras, prices, class size, mission statements, read blogs, etc. but you won't really know until you attend an open house, and even a consultant couldnt help you with that. Estimated time? Tops? (pre-visits): 3 hours[/quote]
