I live in a city of almost one million people, and we have no school for gifted students. I don't know if I would choose that option for my daughter, but it sure would be nice to have the option!

For those of you that do not homeschool, how did you choose your child's school?

What do you think of:

Montessori?
Non-graded school (i.e. no letter grades)?
All-girls education?
Public School?
Private school with small classes?
French immersion?
Sign language school?
...

What kind of schools did you consider?
