[quote=Anonymous]Great lists. A few other things I'd add that I don't think have been mentioned, but I definitely subscribe to the lists above. We're searching for a school for DD now and I went to private myself so my experiences color my views, admittedly. - to the point of a free period that a PP mentioned, real opportunities for recess at the younger grades. Wide range of PE offerings for older grades. Emphasis (in a good way) on sports and active, healthy lifestyle. - NOT teaching to the test. Focus on children learning to think critically, to write, to research, not just be prepared to fill in bubbles on a government-mandated test. - Strong foreign language offerings - Teachers who actually know the subject matter. e.g. the history teacher doesn't just have a degree in education, but has a degree in history.
