Guest hotrodmama024 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Is there anyone else on this board that puts there kid(s) in a private school, or a church school? The only public school option I have is freaking Cassady Elementary. U kiding me? If you have any information on a good well put together school, I can feel confortable in putting my daughter in that would be great.

Crossle Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 My parents put myself and my sister through St. Michael and a couple of other guys here went through Our Lady of Peace (OLP). Neither of these are particularly close to reynoldsburg though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I live by Easton now. If anything i want to put her in a Christian Church program. No Jewish churches Anthony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I graduated from Worthington Christian in 95. I know they have a K-12 program. They adhere to all state guidlines and are state certified. Their athletic program is outstanding, and I believe they offer financial assistance/scholarships. Might be worth checking out. Bussing is also available when I was there.

muscless Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 There is one new school I saw an add for in Columbus. I think it was a cathlic school and they thought K-8 but also did and hour a day of martial arts. Was no extra cost to Columbus residents.

Dave1647545494 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 St. Pius X is in Reynoldsburg is a good school. I refuse to send our son to public school. I would rather pay and know that he learned something and had smaller classes. Most private schools have a child limit where public schools take as many as they can pack in.

Miller Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I went to Worthington Christian too, it's a good school, the administration just sucks if you get into any trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg Yeah, I agree 100% I have never heard anything good about Columbus schools. Nor do I ever want my daughter learning about drugs, violence and sex by 2nd grade. No thank you!

HotCarl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I graduated from Worthington Christian in 95. I know they have a K-12 program. They adhere to all state guidlines and are state certified. Their athletic program is outstanding, and I believe they offer financial assistance/scholarships. Might be worth checking out. Bussing is also available when I was there. I use to know several people who went there, its definitly a solid school. I went to Tree Of Life Christian Schools 7th grade-10th, then to Worthington Kilbourne till graduation. All because my mom hated the Junior High Worthington offered, but Kilbourne was one of the top 3-4 HS's in the city. Tree is very comparable to Worthington Christian though I think it is smaller. My whole class consisted of 45-48 kids every year I was there, my graduating class at kilbourne was 600+. Tree's 7th-12th grade building isnt too far from Easton, not sure about their elementary school though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 http://www.tolcs.org/es/ I forgot that since I left they built a new elementary building in dublin. Its combined with Dublin Christian Church (i think thats the name) right by Meijer's/ Lexus of Dublin, Ive never been but it looks really nice. The location I was thinking is off of Indianola, which I think is by Ohio School for the Deaf if Im not mistaken. Still a nice school, oh but you should know they all wear uniform's. My mom loved this idea b/c she never had to go shopping for "real clothes" I dont know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Thank you! I actually called up there, and they are resonably priced even for a semi-private school. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dat Woman U luv2hate Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 You can always use Paris' address and send her to Westerville. The Worthington Christian I have heard alot of great reviews about, would definatly try that one. Alot of private schools offer grants and vouchers for $ off to single mothers. Ask around about that, I will NOT be sending my middle schooler back to Columbus Public. THEY SUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Being a 12 year attendee and graduate of both OLP Elementary and Bishop Watterson, I can say that the Catholic school system is awesome. Classes right now at CSCC are easy...I learned the math in 8th grade and the English (which is honors, I might add) in 6th. It's made a lot of things easier on me in many ways.

Rally Pat Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 As with Crossle and Clbsinvaders, I have gone to a catholic school the past 12 years. OLP and Watterson. Just had my first day of a non catholic school today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAOLE Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 A word of caution with Christian schools... Make sure you find a school that has the same doctrinal beliefs you do, other wise you children will get conflicting stories and that will not help them at all.

2.oh so slow Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 my kids go to Grace Christian School. Its on the east side, its a k-8 program. My kids ride the bus there. If they won't bus from where you are [i'm sure they will] you can get gas mileage for having to drive. My brother who is now 21 went there and my kids have been there for the last five years. Great school great teachers. its in the Eastside Grace Brethren Church just down from meijer off broad st. http://www.gcsblacklick.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 St.Mathews in gahanna k-12. i went there and had a good set up for college prepatory high schools. i went on to bishop harltey but had an open shot at Desales and St chucks. Columbus School for Girls and academy are other high end options as well I wont say you get a better education per se at a private school but you have mopre of an opportunity to succeed. you can fuck up jsut about anywhere, but you are less likely to at a private school. More attentive teachers, a better student to faculty ratio and a more in tune learning environment. also, have your kid start taking latin lesson NOW!

6 Speed S4 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I went to catholic schools for 11 years (st. brigid, st brendan, and bishop watterson) then transfered over to coffman high school for senior year. Huge difference in the amount you learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
