[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are considering private schools for our DS, who is only 2 now.  We're also ready to move out of our smaller home in DC into something a bit bigger close in.  Since DS is so young, and private school admission is so competitive, we really have no idea where he might go.  As I said, wherever we move, it'll be close in to keep our commute down, so we likely won't be *that* far, but the schools are spread out enough that it seems unlikely we'll end up very close (as compared to the local public, for instance).  Since I also don't have a child in school, I'm not really even sure how much it matters to be close to any school (that is, how often we'll be going to and from to the school) although I think we're likely to drive DC at least in the early years for drop-off and pick-up.

For those with kids in private school, is proximity or lack thereof a big deal?  I'm kind of thinking it's likely one of those things you have to give up when you do private, especially since many privates aren't K-12 anyway, plus siblings often do not go to the same school (we'd like to have one more child).  How much of a hassle is it?  Did it impact your decision on where to go to school, or conversely, where to live? [/quote]
