[quote=Anonymous]PP:  I hope I didn't appear to be putting down ILS. That wasn't my intention at all. We have several friends who are very happy there. I just meant to point out the differences that I am aware of. You are right, they are both good schools, but I think they are different enough that most families would probably be leaning toward one or the other, rather than literally feeling like they needed to flip a coin. :-)

In terms of tuition, it never goes up by very much at Grace. They have never raised it more than 5% that I am aware of, and whenever there is an extra need or expense, the Parents Association pays for it with fundraisers. (I.E., the turf field, new macbook upgrades, the flagpole, the rock climbing wall, the security cameras & monitors, etc).  Check your contract for an enrollment fee. That may be throwing the numbers a little.

For Summer Camp, Yes, a lot of the current younger students attend the camp. My children did when they were little and loved it, and for you, yes it would be a great chance to meet other classmates. I am not sure if the K teachers are involved in the summer camp. I think it's run by the Preschool and Extended Care staff plus outside summer hires. I believe there is a half day option as well.

Good luck! I look forward to welcoming you to the community if you do attend there.  
One last push:  The Kindergarten teachers are AMAZING--so dynamic, energetic, loving... the BEST!  :-)[/quote]
