Many of you know that we have been considering sending Drew to a private school for Junior High and High School. It has been a long process in identifying potential schools and then applying. As we were going thru the process, we were gathering information about the local public schools also so that we could make a good decision once the time came.
Well....that time is now! And I can't believe it because literally we have been working on this since last September. Our strategy all along was to be prepared for both public and private and then make the decision which was best for Drew.
So we went thru the application process for private school, which included tours, testing, writing essays, filling out applications and an interview. And we did research about the local public schools.
And the last 6 months of work come to a head this week with our decision.....Drew had decided to go to private school! We are really proud of him because it was a hugely mature decision to make. It would have been way easier to stick with his friends and go to the local school. But he saw the unique opportunities at the private school and decided that outweighed hanging out with his buddies.....which at 12 is a very mature thought process!
It is a huge committment for our whole family. But we are all excited about the new adventure.
