[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^I’ve heard very similar w/ the main difference being O’Connell being a larger class. Curious to hear from current parents [/quote]

DD attends BI and has close friends at O'Connell. There seems to be a greater emphasis on sports at O'Connell but that's not to say sports aren't a big thing at Ireton too. The schools are more similar than different so I would choose based on location, honestly. Traffic around BI is a nightmare (we're not sending DD's younger siblings there and that's one of the factors) so if O'Connell is more convenient I would go with that one.[/quote]

Will you send other siblings to O’Connell? Is traffic really that bad? [/quote]

Probably O'Connell, maybe public, it's going to be their choice. And yes, it's that bad and getting worse. If we lived within walking distance to BI, or in one of the neighborhoods around it, I would send them there in a heartbeat because it really is a great school, but it's not worth putting ourselves through that mess twice a day for many more years when we have other excellent options.[/quote]
