If you are considering moving your child to a private school, the directory in this issue is a great place to begin your search. And online at our Private School Directory you will find even more details about each school. The best way to learn about a school is to visit. Go during an open house and then visit again while school is in session. Each school has its own personality and vibe. Aside from meeting your child’s needs you must feel comfortable there too since your school family will play a big part of your life.
Have you considered a Family Mission Statement? Mary Ostrowski provides a road map and an explanation for making your own family mission statement.

As your children are older and away from you more and more, having established expectations will help guide them in their choices.
