[quote=Anonymous]It’s complicated and can really only be answered by comparing a few specific schools. No private school is a unicorn. We had to decide what we valued most from school, which, for now, is openness to differentiation. We gave up some things to be in a school that will allow our kid to move up in curriculum when ready instead of having it dictated by age cohort. The sports at the school are lackluster but we made a conscious choice to supplement that on our own with club and rec teams. It’s a year by year conversation and this setup may not work all the way through 12, so we are always assessing. We haven’t ruled out public in the future; we keep all options on the table. When considering private vs. public, one isn’t inherently better than the other. One will be a better fit for your kid, but only your family can make that assessment.[/quote]
