Many of the people who live in lower Fairfield county commute into NYC for work. So obviously lots of opportunity there

It’s a half day. My school district in a neighboring town is open. It’s not supposed to snow here.

Today is the last day of school

There is zero reason for Stamford schools to be closed.

Having sent my children to both public and private in Fairfield county I can tell you that the private school experience is vastly different. The quality of the teachers has been excellent, but more importantly because they can pick and choose who attends the school - you do not have the endless distractions of students with behavioral problems that seem to eat up so much of the teacher’s time and energy - even at the TOP publics. Class size also matters. I have experienced many excellent teachers in my public school - they aren’t the issue. Culture is another big point but I won’t go into that now.

Private school in CT is closer to 40 - 45k a year

From Shelton I would look at Fairfield Country Day. It’s probably still a bit of a hike for you but it was too far for us in lower FFC. It’s such a lovely school
