We have 3 kids in 3 different schools (two private, one public). Part of the separation is age-related, but we could have chosen to have the older two at the same school. Having them separated makes life complicated because school breaks are not synchronized. I also have found it to be difficult to volunteer and to become integrated into three different communities. However, I think that it was the best decision for us. We wanted to find schools that cater to their unique needs and strengths. The younger two have 2E issues, but the oldest does not.
