My boys are my world! I want nothing more than to see my sons have an intimate relationship with Jesus, develop outstanding personalities, and find a love for learning that will lead them to a successful future.
When it came time to decide what school to place my son in for kindergarten, I was torn. We moved to our specific city because of the A-rated public schools. But an amazing charter school opened recently that sounds fantastic. And then there’s the appeal of homeschool, with the opportunity to have more control over my children’s schedule and education.
After hearing so many friends struggle with the same decision, I knew I needed a guide to help parents make a confident, informed decision on the best school for their child!
