Yes, its a private school, although currently it is getting very popular, which Is why I am thinking that I would have to apply early -- if he was starting school this year it wouldn't be a problem, but theyre getting increasing applications each year.
I spoke to DH last night about moving closer, but I think he likes where we are now. Oh well, a few years yet to work on him.
If I could find a public school I liked in our general area that I could get him into on a quota then that may be an option, but the one we are zoned to at present is out of the question. Theres another private school that is closer, but its $7K for prep compared to $1K for the other one.
Theres also a Lutheran school near us where he could go. I was brought up Catholic, and DH was brought up an aethiest, so none of the Catholic schools would take him, as neither Milo or DH are Christened, where this school would, and its nice and small.

I work in a Catholic school and this is not entirely true - but is a little. Catholic schools have to meet a certain quota from their Diocesan office of at least 75% of the students being Catholic. One of the criteria's on enrolling your child is that they are Catholic and/or will live in a Christian manner. If there are not enough Catholic children they will enrol non-catholic children. If your first child is enrolled the schools will automatically accept all your other children - whether or not they are christened. They do not have to enrol your child but do on occasion.
Good luck!
