[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can afford the 9K tuition (with FA) but it’s still extra money we could save if we do public. However, we see so many academic benefits from Catholic in addition to the lovely close knit community, smaller teacher/student ratio and how the school embraces other religions (despite teaching from the Catholic perspective of course). Public would be considered by many a “strong” one but class sizes are in the large side. Feeling “guilty” about oaring tuition while having a “good” public in neighborhood..but is it “good” for real… [/quote]

What are the benefits again? [/quote]

Op here.

Teacher-student ratio (2 teachers per class up to grade 4, after that, ratio is still small as kids are divided up in various classes based on academic need)
Smaller community where they do know your kid’s name 
Spanish class 2 times per week starting in pk
PE 3 times a week 
2 recesses 
Strong reading and writing foundation taught 
Teacher stability… the majority has been there for years and love the school and teaching 
Much more racially diverse than our public ES for sure 
More hands on learning opportunities as teachers do have more flexibility in how to teach 
Less Chromebook use in young grades 
Cursive still being taught for those who can/want to learn

These are the ones I can think of

Ok. Go. Enjoy. Good luck. Bon voyage. Go with God.

Just stop creating serial posts on the same topic and arguing with folks when they answer your questions in good faith.[/quote]

you are hilarious.. who is arguing? A question was asked, and an answer was provided. Sounds like you did not like the answer :)[/quote]
