We are struggling with the same thoughts about Private school, we would love to send DS to Private school but both the Private schools in our town are religious, Catholic and Lutheran. i was baptised Catholic and raised Catholic but don't believe in it anymore, DH doesn't have a religion, DS isn't baptised. I just don't feel comfortable with all the religious lessons that they do in the schools so will probably end up sending him to public instead. I guess it just depends on how much you think you can tolerate religion being your childs life. i thought about how every school function eg concerts will be centred around the religion and i don't think i would enjoy that unfortunately.

Im not udging anyone else by saying this, but for me personally, i feel a bit hypocritical sending my son the a catholic school when our family isn't at all religious. he is free to choose a religion when he is older if he wishes, but i dont feel right letting a school 'push it down his throat' for all those schooling years.

i hope you can find a way to feel good about the school, im sure your child will be fine and love his school whether it is religious or not, after all he won't know the difference!
