In case you didn't see our fall education guides,  I wanted to provide you with this link that explains why I created an education guide.  I'm a Mom with two boys, a 9th grader at Holy Innocents' Episcopal School and a 6th grader at Peachtree Charter Middle School.  For now, I fully believe they are both exactly where they need to be!  I've done a lot of research about schools and I'll keep researching each year to make sure my boys stay on the right track.  This guide contains some of my research plus some information submitted by other sources and schools to help you make the right decision for YOUR child.  No two kids are the same...we are just so fortunate to live in a city where we have so many outstanding choices!
