I was wondering if the two of you might share with me the schools you were talking about in the school post below? Do they have middle school option?

DS is going into 5th grade at his awesome charter and I have no idea what to do with him after that, so I am looking into my options early.

Thanks!

Absolutely! I will PM you the school name. They start at 6th grade and have bus routes all over the place. I know they pick up in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, Marina, Hollister, Aptos, and I'm not sure where else but likely San Jose. There is an extra fee associated with the transportation side of it, but for us it is worth it.

We are very pleased with her school and enjoy being able to send her to a faith based school without it be shoved down our throat.

no problem. I really can't say enough good things about this school. I did include the con that we have discovered this year so hopefully you get a balanced perspective.

I meant to add in the message that they have an amazing cafeteria. I know it sounds weird that I could care but being that it is also a boarding school, they literally have chefs! My daughter always tells me how she got tricked into eating veggies but they ended up being good! lol. They always have a salad bar available along with a vegetarian selection and a couple of others.

I usually put a certain amount of money on her account at the beginning of the month and then she budgets her daily amount used so that she doesn't go over. We thought this was a great way to get her used to budgeting. Plus we can go online and see what she used. She thinks we can also see what she buys but we really can't so shhhh Wink

Oh yea, they also have drives that can be accessed from home. So if she starts working on homework from school she can save her work on the computer and then access it when she gets home!
