[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you will find people who have a similar profile who went all directions. Some responsers kids will stay public- and it works great. Frankly there are only so many private spots so there will certainly be people whose kids applied and didn’t get in (no fault of the kid- it can be a numbers game), and they will say that staying public worked out better. And that is great. You’ll find parents whose stories are their kids applied, got in to privates and it was the best decision ever. They may wonder how you could even question as to how this is a hard decision/ of course your kid applies to private.

My kids are in private but it isn’t something you must do at all. I don’t think others’ experiences will be much of a guide. If this is something your kids are considering (and you’re open to letting them do so), do some research about schools on line. Visit in the fall, do the interviews, talk to real kids and parents (your teens too) of kids at public and privates.

It is a good exercise if you have the option to look around - but never bad mouth the public option because your kids may opt to stay or won’t get in to private. It should never be that the public school is a “less than” choice. Langley is a fantastic option for your kids regardless. [/quote]
