[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find these "should I pick X or Y school" posts a bit silly without giving any information about what is important to you.  Obviously, if language immersion is the most important criteria to you, then you would pick the language immersion school over the non language immersion school.  Besides that, there are many family-specific variables you've got to figure out yourself.  Do the schools have roughly the same number of kids in a class?  If there's a difference, which is preferable to you?  Is having a more established school with multiple years of test scores you can look at important to you?  Does either school go thru 8th grade and, if so, is that a positive, negative or neutral for you?   If music and arts important to your family, are there significant differences between the schools?  What about before care, after care and afterschool clubs?  Does one have better offerings for your family?  Is cost a factor?  What about lunch?  Who is the provider at each or is lunch a non-issue for your family because you'll bring lunch?  Does your child have SN?  If so, did you learn anything from the open houses that might steer you in one direction or the other.  And, of course, there is the almighty commute consideration, though you said that's a non-issue in your specific example.[/quote]

Of course, we would ultimately decide based on our family's preferences and what works for us. I was curious to hear other people's opinion and perhaps find other information that we may have overlooked. [/quote]
