Statistics on effectiveness of overall private school education relative to the public/catholic system by means of both objective and subjective indicators.

Expert Answer

We are not aware of any concrete studies that have been done to provide statistics that compare the two school systems. Private school alumni however praise their successes in life and their careers to the schools they attended. And studies that surveyed private school parents and students all conclude that they chose to go to private school because of these top reasons:

1. Private schools give families the choice to live where they want.
2. Families have a choice in the educational curriculum.
3. Students get more individual attention with smaller class sizes.
4. Equipment and resources are more abundantly available.

My son attends a private Montessori school where the teacher seems to have undergone a drastic attitude shift (and not for the better) since last year. I have already paid for the year in advance which is non-refundable and when you try to talk to her about concerns with regards to my son and how he's coming home from school, she gets extremely defensive, rather hostile and deflects the matter as if she has nothing to do with it. ( ie. I don't think its appropriate she leave the children alone while she goes for a smoke - she doesn't think its any of my business) Do Montessori schools get inspected each year? If so, by who? What do yo recommend? Talking to her seems to only be escalating her behaviour.   Je cherche une école cible sur les arts tel que le théâtre, la musique et la danse si possible bilingue français anglais ou anglophone. Merci.   What schools are participating? Are school's teachers going to be on site?
