[quote=Anonymous]OP here - Thanks for the additional recommendations on schools and the details on the process.  I think our local elementary is such that I'm not sure I'm ok with it for Kindergarten and Grade 1 to be able to do TAG, so it probably would be a matter of applying for the lottery once for K and otherwise abandoning charter in favour of private.  I think you're pretty spot on re: the spectrum issue of Fairhaven and St. Jerome's....the more I read about Fairhaven the more I wonder if it's too out there for me, but I'm not sure.  I grew up in a great public school system and got a great education and just want the same for my child (within a reasonable dollar amt. - not sure if we can swing Sandy Spring Friends though it looks wonderful).  We are not the least bit religious but willing to go Catholic if that's what "best within our budget" means even though, to me (not intending offense), it seems highly rigid in some respects.  If Fairhaven would work for my child, I'd go with it in a heartbeat.  Fortunately we're considering these questions well in advance, so we have lots of time to think....though perhaps because we're so far in advance, I'm considering a wide range of types of schools, still not knowing which will be the best fit - I'm guessing that will become more clear.

Thank you again![/quote]
