A Letter From The Editor

The perfect school for a child is an important and variable decision. Different children need certain things out of a school, whether it be more challenging coursework or the camaraderie of a sports team. The most obvious differences in school choice lie between public, private and homeschooling. This issue is dedicated to helping parents make that choice, and their next decisions as well about school district or curriculum options.

A parent's involvement in their child's education can make all the difference in assuring a healthy and successful life for that child. I'd like to wish all parents the best of luck in their decisions.

Warmly,


Patricia Meyer
