[quote=Anonymous]I also think at her age, friendships are becoming more important, but she has already seen classmates change schools without much difficulty. We kind if touch a possible switch with her, and she seem comfortable with the idea, but it was more about future step, we do not want to confuse her till our final decision. Several kids in her class have already changed schools, and new students have joined without any drama. We’ve also stayed connected with families who left our school through after-school activities, whether they moved to public schools or other private ones.
I’m trying to understand whether switching earlier, when transitions are more common, might be easier than waiting until middle school is finished. I’m also worried about what might happen if her best friend is accepted into a different school. Since she’ll be around 13–14, I wonder how that could affect her school choice and whether there are cases where kids don’t want to apply because of friendships. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but thank you for the good ideas I hadn’t considered before.[/quote]
