This is going to be a very busy September and October. My son goes to kinder garden next year and I have to register him in school by November.
In our school system, we have catchment school but if you don’t want your child to go there you can register him for any other school. You will be placed in waitlist and if they have space after registering their catchment students and then the sibling of those from outside catchment, they will register you.
There are other district programs that don’t have catchment and if you want to get into those programs you can register to the school with, I hope, no problem.
Picking a school and a program is getting harder by the minute. I know I don’t want my catchment school as they are below average on all subjects. I’ve been reading report cards online and I’m asking everyone about the school their kids go to. But I can’t really decide, one school is good in math the other in writing, one has IB program, the other French immersion.
I’m thinking more serious about IB program, do you have any information on this program? Please leave me your tips on how to pick a school. What are you criteria?
Until later,

When I went to school, I was sad that my mother never put me in the IB program. I’m not sure if it’s the same thing or not, but all the “smart” kids were in the IB program. The kids that weren’t so smart but still in the IB program were miserable. French immersion was also a program I wish I was put in, but a good friend of mine who was in french immersion since he was 5 had a horrible time in English class (go figure). I think some kids are too young for their parents to decide which program to put them in. It might be a decision that needs to be made later.
Thank you Cassie. I agree I can’t really decide if IB program is for my child or not. So far he has been in Montessori preschool he is fine there and follows the rules even picked a few that follows at home too, but from this I can’t really see his ability for IB or French or anything for that matter. All I know now is that I have a very imaginative son that sometimes I can’t really say if he is telling me the truth or a story of his imagination. For now I think I go with what I think is best for me and know how to do, then if it didn’t work for him I will change his school.
