I can only afford to send my child to a private school for a few years. Which grades should I choose?

Expert Answer

Opinions vary. Some people argue that the peer-pressured adolescent years are most important. Others believe the early elementary years are key for adopting a lifelong love of learning. Still others view the high school years as crucial for preparing students for post-secondary success. It comes down to your circumstances and your child.
