Does that mean there is no public school for your neighborhood?

Does that mean that if you don't get into private, your child doesn't go to school?

Does that mean that you are homeschooling?



Id like to know this too.

I'd repeat the earlier question -- what grade, and what area do you live in? May have suggestions based on the answer.

If you are looking for a pre-K through 2nd, Primary Day School was terrific for our son. We applied late and got in; Loved it! He is now at a Big 3.

I'm guessing it means they'll move to a location where public IS an option

I don't understand the "public is not an option".

Does that mean there is no public school for your neighborhood?

The silver lining is that you will find a nice school you like that costs 15-20 thousand less. Every year. That is a car. Every year.

I would call around you really never know. Are you able to commute to md? Try Wes, Norwood, St. Andrews, Bullis. You just never know- some years and some grades are " off" admissions wise for random reasons- so give it a try!

But I don't think any of those schools will have openings right now, will they? OP needs a school for next year it sounds like.
