Creekdweller,

Thanks for the information. My children are 9, 7, & 5. Class size is important but I would rather my children be in a school that is grounded in a worldview that mirrors what I am teaching them at home. Education is also important but I feel there are much more important things in life for my children to learn; especially when I am establishing a foundation that everything else in their lives will be built upon.

It seems there are many choices for the lower grades but very few for upper, especially high school. I keep hearing very nice things about Trinity Lutheran.

Northland is K-12. The elementary campus (K-5) and secondary campus (6-12) are separate locations. One of the reasons we chose this school was the ability for our child to be in the same school for all grades. We have also been very impressed with the diversity within the school. John Cooper is also K-12.

I'm not naive enough to think problems only exist at public schools but your statement is just one of many reasons why I asked about Private Schools. And it just continues to add to the "reputation" KISD is gaining, which is not a good thing from my vantage point.

We also realized problems exist in both public and private schools. We chose Northland because we wanted a smaller school for our child, it was challenging academically and the environment is an extension of the home. They also offer an excellent fine arts program with orchestra beginning in the third grade as well as a plethora of sports and extracurricular activities. On the disciplinary side, conduct is enforced and the majority of kids we've encountered have been well mannered (as have their parents).

Your original question was input on private schools in the area - there are a number of good ones to check out. We've heard great things about Trinity Lutheran and Providence Classical School. Abercrombie also has a very good reputation. John Cooper, though further north in the Woodlands, is stellar.

Good luck to you in your search.

Hi. We will be moving to the Willowbrook/Tomball area before the next school year (not exactly sure where yet). I've learned a lot about the Public Schools in the area. Now I'm interested in finding out about the Private Schools. Does anyone have thoughts, suggestions, and/or opinions? Thank you.

I can highly recommend Northland Christian School. Our child just completed his first year there (kindergarten) and I can not say enough good things about it. Northland provides a challenging curriculum, expectations of the child to be his best, and an entire staff that is truly interested in the growth of each and every child. Staff to parent communication is excellent and the overall environment is that of a small, caring community. Our son absolutely loved it and is already ready to go back to school.
