You want the absolute best for your child when you’re a parent. From finding healthy recipes to checking the materials in their room’s furniture, your brain is constantly in overdrive. That probably won’t change a bit once it’s time to pick out their school. Not only will the right private school help your child learn uniquely, but it also gives them a chance to develop their character and perhaps tap deeper into their beliefs. As a Bellevue senior and Mitzvah photographer, I get to chat with many families about their favorite local academies. Here are the Mercer Island private schools my clients have adored.
