Yes, it is good to know what options we have. They don't offer weekend or afterschool courses, though. This is only the second year of operation for this school, so I am also a little concerned about whether it will stay afloat financially.
I would hate to get the kids all settled there only to have to move them back to ps the next year having lost their spots. Around here, the public schools are overcrowded. Priority for your neighborhood school is assigned by enrollment date. If we leave and come back the kids would be overloaded to other (lousier) public schools.
Still, if things get really bad at the ps, it's nice to have alternatives.
