Private early childhood, private kinder, and the plan was public there on out, but lately I have been having second thoughts... Will have to make a decision in the next few months!

We're planning on sending him to a public Chinese immersion program for all of his schooling.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: i hear wake county has a good school system
-
@Mrs. Lion: my brother lives there! My husband has been talking about Raleigh or Charlotte.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: haha i know
i vote raleigh. Or apex, more specifically!

All public! The only private schools even remotely close are catholic schools. And we are not catholic! I went to the same public schools (same school system anyway) and I feel like I had a great experience with lots of opportunities. They've progressed even more since I've been out of school and probably even more by the time T goes to school.

Because we are expats and don't speak the local language, we have mostly decided on a private French school. He's currently in a private bilingual preschool, so he is learning German. However, when he gets to be school age, I want to know what is going on with his school, curriculum, teachers and I want to be able to help with homework and be otherwise involved. I won't be able to provide any type do support if he is in a local public school. That said, if we lived in a country where the local language was one we spoke, he would likely go to public school.

Private preschool and then public everything else. We have discussed the option to send him to a private school however, and would be open to it if we felt he would receive a much better education than the public school. We are fortunate to live in a very good district now though and do not foresee having to do this.

we picked a neighborhood (for many reasons) that has a very decent elementary school. but MS and HS are pretty crappy. so we're either moving or paying for private school. we think we may feel like we want to move to a bigger house further out (that would have better schools) by then anyway. private school would be a huge hit (but DH went to one all the way through so he values it).

private k-12

We will likely do public through most of the way, with the possibility of private for some of all of high school.
We would like to give both our girls an opportunity to have and international year in high school-my husband did his senior year at a private school in Switzerland, and we would love that for our girls too.

All private, which kills me because I'm a huge proponent of public schooling. However, we live in the city and the schools we are districted to are AWFUL. We are only two blocks away from the boundary for awesome public schools so we are hoping that the boundary lines will be redrawn by then. Or, maybe we will be able to get him into a charter school. Luckily, we have a while to figure it out!

The plan is all public.
-
All private, which I never would have imagined. I attended all public schools, my mom was a public school teacher and so am I. The public schools in my city are terrible. In fact, with Common Core and the conformist/militaristic nature of public schools (at least in my area), I am becoming more and more disenchanted with how schools work in general. We are lucky to have a Sudbury school in our city and at the moment that's where we are planning on sending DS.

We don't know yet. I was hoping for the Public Spanish immersion program, but it's the only school in our city that requires the child to be within the district
-
Public, French Immersion program at an English school ( hopefully the one I teach at!)
-
@Mrs. Jacks: DH always felt if we moved to your area (we've talked about it some), that we would send our kids to Catholic school because he was concerned about the public schools. Do you feel like in the city they are more diverse?
-
Public.

@jedeve: the schools are more diverse in the city, to be sure... There is still the presence of the dominant culture in city schools, though I don't see that as a problem. Many folks in town see private school as a hidden tax of living here. I don't necessarily agree, but I understand their viewpoint.
However, the cathedral school is half the price of other private schools in the area, so it's super hard to disregard it entirely and it is a fabulous school!!!
Wall me if you want the details. We've toured it and everything... I would love if you moved here! Please say you are considering it!
