[quote=Anonymous]I moved one child to Saint Ann in 3rd grade and the other child followed when I saw what the structure and kindness did for him (not that APS is unkind, they just had a lot to deal with and many policies that made it hard to keep kids accountable for behavior).

I really liked the Science Curriculum (my kids had different teachers because there was turn over).

One child met the criteria for advanced math (Algebra) and the other was close but didn't make it. In retrospect, that was a good call. When they got to HS some students who were pushed too soon had to drop down or chose transfer to  other schools. If you can make it work, give it a try. Better to develop those skills while the stakes are low and won't impact college admissions. If you don't like it, public school will still be there. One child really needed a Catholic school. The other would have been fine anywhere, but has expressed gratitude to us for a wonderful experience (especially the friendships) overall. [/quote]
