[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree that choosing convenience and a walkable school is very important. We spent years commuting our kids to elementary school, and even "just a bus ride" really adds up. Especially keep in mind that as they age they will want to do activities at the school (e.g. chess club, girl scouts), plus play on sports teams with kids from the school who will pick practice fields that are close to the school, etc. Their friends will likely live near the school and they will want play dates with them. You will wind up commuting to the school area way more than just your daily school day. As a single parent this seems even more important.[/quote]

there are a lot of ITDS families who live in the area (or, at least Ward 5 as a whole), but as city-wide charters my guess is they each draw kids from various neighborhoods. I think there is a public website that shows the wards from which people attend each school. The au pair resource would make me care less about getting the kid home from afterschool activities but a good flag if they want to be spending time across town over the weekends. My kid goes to ITDS and we don't live in that area. We find ourselves doing cross town meet ups on the weekends but often they are focused on shared activities where none of us live[/quote]
