I would sit down and really think about what you're looking for in a school. How do you feel about things like longer days, outside time, homework, creativity, and many other issues?

Personally, I'd ask how many kids they have like your child, and what they do for them.

But, did you know that if you're in the northern hemisphere you've missed private school application season? They mostly want applications by Jan/Feb and offers for next year have gone out.
