There are countless decisions parents have to make to make sure their children have the best life. Some decisions must happen daily, like choosing what they will eat, how much screen time they will have, the clothes they will wear, and what battles to fight in a day. Other decisions have long-term effects that could determine the trajectory their lives will go for years to come.
One of those long-term decisions is regarding what type of school they will attend. Once they begin attending public, private, or charter school, you may not be eager to change; even if you believe, later, they would thrive in a different setting. Many parents research for countless hours to find every pro and con of each type of education, only to find there are as many expert opinions as there are parents.
While we can’t answer all your questions in a single article, we do want to provide as much information as possible to help you make an informed decision. With your support, your child can have a great academic experience in any setting, but of course, you want them to get as much out of their education as possible.

Have you ever formed an opinion about something before getting all the facts? Of course, we would all like to believe that we have only ever drawn conclusions after receiving an abundance of information and looking at both sides fairly, but sometimes, a misconception will interrupt our process and cause us to judge erroneously.
Misconceptions are opinions held based on incorrect or faulty information. We can hold certain pieces of information in our minds as if they are true and make judgments based on faulty data.
Misconceptions exist about everything. Unfortunately, they can keep us from making good decisions for the wrong reasons.
As we approach the end of the school year, parents are ready to take a breath. It's been a long and challenging year for students and parents alike. Nevertheless, you will still be spending time reflecting on the school year, what processes worked, and what you need to do differently.
Some parents might be at the point where they are searching for alternatives for their school options. Is private school right for every child? Will your child benefit from a private education environment? In this article, we will help you answer those questions as you evaluate the past school year.
Spring has almost sprung here in Northville, Michigan. Well, in reality, we still have a little while before we can really count on the weather to give us a break from the snow and cold. Still, it’s the time of year when we just can’t help but at least try to get out in the sun and experience nature and the outdoors.
Sometimes, it may feel like you have to drag your kids away from screens and phones, especially after winter when they have grown accustomed to killing time by staring at a television or endlessly scrolling social media. At St. Paul Lutheran School, we do our best to emphasize the importance of experiencing God's magnificent creation.
