Something else that may or may not be important:  At this time my son identifies as a boy, but expresses as a girl (i.e. has long hair that he likes to wear in braids with pretty hair clips, wears dresses most days, loves his Elsa shoes).  This may change, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.  It came on gradually, but has been going on for a couple of years.  At his preschool, the kids and parents were very accepting, though I think some of the kids actually thought he was a girl.  Obviously, I want him to go to school in an equally accepting environment.  I realize there will always be challenges with gender nonconforming, but the more we can minimize that, the better.  I will of course speak to the management of whatever school we end up at, but are there schools that we should particularly avoid or seek out based on this?

Strange that I (who don't generally bother with girly stuff) ended up with 2 girly girls (even if one of them is a boy).[/quote]

Given this, I would look into CMI. It is a very accepting, warm environment with lots of kids who don't necessarily fit into a mold. It's also pretty tiny and everyone knows everyone else. It may be the place you're looking for, if it's not too inconvenient. They're also expanding enrollment for next year, so your son may have a better shot than in other years.[/quote]
