Thanks Rufus! I'll give those a look.
Also I don't want to limit responses to parents, but would also appreciate insights from forum members who have been through such a school themselves. And obviously my interest is more in a comparison of public school vs. "Christ-centered" school, rather than Christian vs. Catholic programs.
That being said, a concern we had with one of the Christian schools we researched was that they wanted us to buy a lot of educational products such as study-at-home DVDs. At almost US$1,000 per set - on top of tuition - it seems quite a stretch. The Catholic school we chose, while strongly promoting parental involvement at home, does not require 3rd-party products be purchased. I found that difference quite curious.
