Good luck. It hope it works out for you. I know the area private schools that I have looked into for DS, and wanted to advise you to make sure you ask the amount of financial aid. In one private area school they said they can give "up to 25%" which for us was not enough. That seems to be the highest amount that I have heard. I kept wishing they had academic scholarships, for people like us. We are poor but make enough that we may be albe to afford it if we moved and sold everything, and didn't donate money for causes,...so we don't qualify. Of course since DH was laid off we may be able to qualify now, who knows. We are looking into something as well...but unfortunately I have been hearing different things and am not sure the school we are looking at will accomodate him.
