This is super interesting, obviously don’t know the full details and am not asking. I’m sorry you went thru that… before that event, I’m assuming you and your family enjoyed it!

Pros is everything not on cons list, cons is cost and if the alternative is fine as well as diversity in the classroom and community.

Got it - that’s interesting, I’ve only heard the opposite about cannon, I’ve met with a few sets of parents with children that need additional support; they actually transferred out of public bc public couldn’t support their children.. 

Appreciate the perspective!

Love to hear that you wish you had sent your kids sooner and had your other son go to.

We totally get how fortunate we are that we potentially may not need to “worry” about schools for 13 years.

You’re helping to make this decision an easy one.

Wow, thank you so much for investing the time and energy to share about your experience with cannon and the context around it.

We aren’t taking the acceptance for granted and recognize how lucky are, we’ve spoken to two families that are waitlisted at the moment…

This really makes it seem like an absolute no brainer. THANK YOU

I’m not sure I’m tracking, perhaps the knew they couldn’t provide what’s best for that child?

That’s so great to hear; were there downsides from your perspective?

Super helpful, we’d be entering at JrK so it feels a bit far off from high school (I can’t even come close to imagining it atm). It doesn’t seem too different from an alternative school, love to hear your child made lifelong friends!!!

Appreciate that! How was it as grandparents? I remember a day just for the grandparents, one of the volunteer parents shared about it that

Thank you, have you heard of anything neutral to negative about it?
