Private elementary schools or secondary?

There are various schools of thought (no pun intended) when it comes to deciding whether (if you must make a choice) to send your child to private grade school or a private high school. As we all know, early years are critical to a child's development. On the other hand, the effects of a high school education will be felt in university and will be remembered longer into adulthood.

Of course, private elementary school is a longer commitment and it is good advice to switch schools when there is a natural break. By this, we mean the time between grade school and secondary school, instead of in the middle of a child's tenure at the elementary level, for example. If you child is experiencing bullying or any other kind of school trouble, it can be smart to switch to a private school, although this may not solve all your child's problems.
