Independent schools (Kansas City, St. Louis, Forsyth: 2010, pre-school, university)

[grmngrl8203]

My son is going to be going to school for senior kindergarden for 2009-2010 school year and want to put him in private school. I was going to do this for pre-school and decided to wait a year. I have a few picked out and wanted to know opinions on them. Curriculum, teachers, in general if the children like it there? They are Central Christian, City Academy, College School, Forsyth School, MICDS, New City, The Principia, Rohan Woods, Rossman, St. Michaels, Villa Duchesne, and the Wilson school. I found a list online and these are the ones I picked from that and liked the websites but dont know anyone who has a child in them or knows of any.

Principia is a school for Christian Scientists. I don't even know if you can enroll in the school without believing in Christian Science...that is how their university is.

There is a private christian school that is not on your list, and if you were choosing based on websites, that may be why you didn't choose this one. Their website was not being taken care of until recently. It's a FABULOUS school with the best Kindergarten teacher! The name is Victory Christian Academy. It is located in South St. Louis County near Grant's Farm. The tuition is the lowest we've found, but they are definitely not lacking in accedemics! The SAT scores are WAY above the national norm. The teachers have great educations and do a very good job. The principal is top notch. It has such a family atmosphere about it. I just can't say enough good things about it. We moved here from Kansas City last summer. I just didn't know what to expect when we chose this school, but now I know the Lord was looking out for us. The current website is www.VCAcademy.org Check it out. Oh, and one more thing. They have a great facility - it is in one of Lindbergh's old buildings that they don't use anymore.
