Thank you for sharing! I greatly appreciate it. Also, love your website! It’s super helpful. :)

Thank you!

This is so helpful. Thanks so much! :)

Thank you! I will look into that for sure :)

Thank you! Unfortunately most of those companies are more “pharma” but I will double check just to see if it’s been updated since I last saw it!

Wow wish Yale covered my tuition!😂 my grad school loans are nuts.

That’s so nice to hear! Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re doing well!

Great tip!! Thank you!

That sounds so amazing! Love the people on this sub. Thank you!

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing your experience!

That’s reassuring! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Glad to hear you are doing well!

Thank you for this! It is definitely something my husband and I will consider before locking in a home. My husband and I also went to public school all our lives. I went on to a public university and am now at Yale for grad and my husband went on to a private university. I definitely understand where you are coming from and we do want our children to be well rounded and genuine individuals. You bring a very important perspective to the table, so thank you so much for that!

I was considering the regular private schools as boarding school appears to be a little intense from the info I have gathered. Would you recommend a public elementary/middle school, possibly in Fairfield County, before switching to private for high school? I am leaning towards that pathway at the moment, but I’m sure you have more insight into the public school system as an administrator.

Thank you! That sounds like a great plan. Private schools seem to be around 40-50k+ for Connecticut, or at least the ones I was looking at, so that makes a lot of sense. I would want my children to be well educated with cultural exposure just as you are, but I’m thinking that maybe a public high school in Fairfield County is the way to go for now. Thanks again and best of luck to your daughter!

That is also a great point! Thank you and best of luck to your child!

Thank you :) that is great insight. Fairfield County seems like the perfect place to settle down honestly.

The people on this sub are great and so informative! I’m really grateful.

Thank you! I hope you are enjoying your new country❤️

Thank you! I personally went to a school in the south that is well known for sports but not really education. I’m now in grad school at Yale and the difference in the way the entire university is run and the culture is very obvious. I’m not trying to be pretentious or anything, but my husband and I had to claw our way up from nothing and I’m hoping to provide all the resources that we can for our future kids.

Thank you again for your insight!

Wow, congrats on that! Did you feel left out by the kids that had gone to private school their whole life?

Thank you for this take! It is definitely something to consider. May I ask if you went to a private school when you were older only, and was it an Ivy feeder school?

Both of your comments are great takes! To be frank, I feel that I am well connected considering my parents weren’t and I worked my way up(although you don’t know what you don’t know so I’m 100% sure there are much better connections out there). For now, I think it would be better to invest in extracurriculars and spend quality time with my future kids/guide them academically to ensure that they become good people. I think I would honestly be embarrassed to be the poorest parent at a private school, but maybe my opinion will change later.

Thank you so much for your insight!

Oh wow! I did not know this. Does it apply to only high school or is it all grade levels? I am from the south and this was definitely not a thing. I see a lot of girls from my old high school graduate from college and immediately start teaching. This is great information, thanks so much!

Thank you!! This was really insightful. My husband and I both attended public school and are now doing well for ourselves. Was wondering if private schools would make a significant difference, but this answered my question for sure. I’m thinking we will end up investing in a home in a good town with a good school district instead of shelling out money for private. Thanks so much!

Thank you! Would there be any benefit to sending kids to a private school if we did decide to settle down in one of those towns?
