[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did some research and we did a visit.

In fairness, we are pretty tech-heavy family, so that would have been an inconsistent value on our part. We also were a family who loved characters (Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Mickey Mouse...) and pro sports. The dress code of only clothes that were plain (stripes are OK, letters and numbers were not) would have been a miss.

Our kid was in around grade 2. Reading was an area of strength. Fine motor skills an area of weakness.

When I spoke to a teacher at an Open House, she explained part of the philosophy, and whispered it so my child would not hear it. The secrecy didn't sit so well with me. They angels in a setting that was not really a Church, but had elements of a Church...for me was triggering some religious trauma.

So, I would have felt bad about skipping so many things outside of school to afford a school that was not a match for us = why we passed on that option.

Other friends of mine loved it but they had a more bohemian approach to parenting/life. The staff seemed lovely and the kids were engaged. [/quote]

I get not wanting to be around the weird theology but I'm surprised that giving up character and sports team merch on weekdays would factor into your concerns.[/quote]
