[quote=Anonymous]School philosophy is very important, IMO. Strict Catholic families, for example, might be pretty uncomfortable sending their children to schools that openly embrace gay families. If your family really values competitive sports or music, then certain schools are going to be more appealing than others. Same with single-sex schools. In the upper grades, you want an open urban environment or a closed campus, suburban one? Do you want language immersion--there are only a few schools that offer that in the early grades? When you are looking at schools for a kindergartener, these things might not always be a concern, but they are worth thinking about as many, if not most, children who start at K in the K-12 schools stay there all the way through. If you are happy with a school, I think that your child and your child's teachers will pick up on that. [/quote]
