[quote=Anonymous]We are in a good MoCo elementary but our kid is often bored in class so we are making the move.

Our reasons:
-smaller class sizes
-increased/better differentiation, more challenging curriculum in higher grades
-foreign language classes before middle school 
-1000x better arts program
-2x better music program (the music teacher at her current school is actually pretty great, but private schools can dedicate more time and effort)
-better science curriculum, at least in elementary
-more access to learn different sports, take part in different extracurriculars, etc
-teaching executive functioning skills 
-better community — teachers and staff who actually know your kid’s name
-less behavioral issues (we hope)
-more variety in schedule (i.e. “specials” meet multiple times per week, rather than just once)

I am thankful that my kid has been able to make neighborhood friends and I firmly believe our public school is doing its best, but they have to spend time raising the floor, which can impact those with high ceilings.
