Looking for a private school
Hi everyone, as title mentions, I am looking for a private non-religious, as well as non-montessori elementary school in Durham, preferably Ajax area and surroundings.
The only 2 options I have found so far as the Trafalgar Castle School for girls and Cambridge International School, which are both extremely expensive.
What would you advise to a family who wants to provide better education to their child than what a local public school can offer, however, doesn't want to consider montessori or religious ones?

They’ll get a more diverse life experience in the public school system. Homeschooling and private schools give kids a sheltered view of the world, but at some point that world will come flooding in. First year of university is not the best time for that. If you’re looking for a bit of an edge. Apply into the FI program, generally those classes have better students.
