In reply to Ashley. Thanks for the article. Our youngest is going to attend a Christian Private School this fall because we want to instill a biblical worldview in her and the public schools in our area are not strong. The only advantage I can see in the public school system is cost and more extracurricular opportunities. I have to say, for Christian parents that are sending their kids to public schools just be ready to spend extra time unpacking what they are experiencing throughout their school days. On the homeschool side, I do think cost should be listed as a con as well. For many parents, homeschooling means foregoing a second income and future earning potential as well. This is for most families more costly than private school.

In reply to day care centre Capalaba. True. When my boys are in smaller schools, they are more like family with the other kids. My kids integrated so much quicker at the private school.

There’s generally more adult supervision than on the school playground, too. As a result, kids with learning or attention issues are more likely to be included and feel part of the group.

In reply to Eddie. Thank you so much, Eddie. I hear ya. It all feels like this huge decision, but the good news is you can always adjust your decision later if the first option doesn't work. Thank you for your encouragement too. I can always use it.

I really loved reading this. I’m going through some of these same thoughts. We have 5 kids, Christian, and dread public school due to some issues we’ve encountered with bad influences. Christian schools can be so expensive. I was thinking about homeschooling but you’ve brought up some very solid pros and cons for me to think about.

Your transparency and authenticity really blessed me in reading this. Praying for you and your family.

Much love,
Eddie

Hi April! I appreciate how detailed you are with the pros and cons. This is so helpful for moms like me who is also looking for ideas on what type of school should my kid go to. She’s about to go to school this coming school year and I can’t explain what I’m feeling. Thanks again!
