I know well the type of tiny private Christian school you are talking about. These are not like traditional Catholic schools with good academics and discipline. These are the schools where parents send their kids who were kicked out of public. And a fair number of the teachers at the school will be people who were made to resign from their public school position because of doing/saying very inappropriate things to students.

Lots of people send their kids to so-so publics and use the money they would otherwise have spent on private school to supplement.

You said it was move for military, so you could also homeschool. Lots of military families do that so you would have a good network.[/quote]

As someone who went to a tiny church school for a while as a kid it's not necessarily all that bad (don't think any of my teachers had a bad track record), but it really isn't great. Most people I know who attended those types of schools grew up really bitter about it. That was even with OK teachers and only a few behavior cases - far fewer than my kids' decently affluent public honestly. The curriculum was just so hit-you-over-the-head-with-indoctrination. I'm still a devout Christian, but man I hated that curriculum. I've seen Christian education done so much better since.

I second looking into homeschool. Are there any good co-ops where you're moving?[/quote]

I work full-time (remotely, but for an actual company with actual hours, not an MLM) so homeschooling isn't an option. [/quote]
