Stressing about education...

...of our 4 month old little monkey.

Seriously, I have been stressing about this for a few days. Since we don't know where we are going to be living in: T-Minus 2 months, the prospect of a future, and hopefully semi-permanent, home is a little daunting. Especially with the future educational implications it carries with it.

We have thought about home-schooling are and huge supporters of it. The Mama Bear in our family is a little intimidated by the idea. So option two would be a home-school group or independent Catholic school. Well, where do those exist?

I am a fan of the most local (formally independent) school here: Holy Rosary Academy. So, how do you find a school like that?

Well, you could go to the National Accrediting Organization that they belong to: National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools. There are a couple of good ones back in Michigan... not really in the areas we want to live. (Funny enough, there are a few in areas we USED to live.)


What about an area that has a great Catholic High School? HRA is on the Catholic High School Honor Roll. There are a few schools in Michigan that are on there, but again, in more heavily populated areas - but these are more mainstream schools, which means mainstream problems.

So... I am trying to take a breath and realize that we have a good 4-5 years before we REALLY have to worry about this. I am just concerned that if I am this stressed now... who KNOWS what 2015 will bring. I hope my wife doesn't read this...
