[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard many good things about MRE.  I wish I could remember some specifics for you, but it was a while ago.  Unfortunately, we were zoned for Thomas Stone so we chose private but would have certainly strongly considered MRE if that were an option.

My child attends Friends Community School, and we love it.  Although it's Quaker, the religiosity is not overt.  It is very much infused with the Quaker spirit, though, of nonviolence, community, sustainability, etc.  If you are agnostic, atheist, or just prefer to keep your religiosity private, you would be very comfortable there.  A good example would be the winter holiday program.  No traditional Christmas carols or reference to Jesus.  It's very much a general holiday theme.  The children do learn about various world religions.  [/quote]

Thanks so much for the info!  Friends sounds great, but I couldn't afford the tuition, and the distance would make it hard too.

It is good to know about the religiosity though.  As atheists, I wanted to try to avoid an overly religious school.  Not because I would forbid my son from choosing a religion, but just so it wouldn't be so confusing for him at a young age.  :)[/quote]
