[quote=Anonymous]Hi. Bit of a random question, but our child is currently in first grade and we are looking to make a switch to private. We have an annual vacation that we usually do a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, meaning often while school is in session. We know we have a limited time while our kids are really young where they can “afford” academically to miss a full week of school, and we know how to handle this in public schools. My question is how private schools typically react/respond to kids missing school for travel? Frowned upon? Supported (either “go on vacation and have fun” or “here’s some work to do to stay sharp”)?

I guess I’m just curious as to whether this kind of thing is common/easy to navigate? And yes, before someone flames me, I absolutely recognize how frivolous this question is. We would of course stop doing it if it was going to pose problems administratively or put the kid at a disadvantage academically - neither of which have been true in the public so far.[/quote]
