Recomend a Private School Anyone?

St. Michaels is in Livonia, I was looking at them when we were looking for a private school. We are closer to Farmington and ended up at St. Fabian. Didn't like it. We ended up buying a house in Novi so our kids go to public school now.

However, when we had our daughter in Preschool we went to Our Lady of Sorrows. It is not in any of the cities you mentioned but is close to Livonia. It's in Farmington, 10 mile and Orchard Lake. They go from pre-k up to 8th grade. I loved it there and if we didn't move to Novi we would still be there.

Tons of volunteer opportunities and they don't FORCE you volunteer like some private schools do. If you can't volunteer you aren't made to pay an extra few hundred $$$ to make up for it.

From my experience, the staff was great and so were the parents...I'm sure not all of them will be, but no one is perfect right??? :o)

There are a number of websites you can utilize to help with your decision. Schooldigger.com is one I remember off the top of my head.

Happy Hunting!

I don't know your area but go to greatschool.com. You get great info, demographics, parent ratings, test scores, etc.

I don't know of a private school, but my son attends Fortis Academy in Ypsilanti which is a Charter School. He loves it and the class sizes are fairly small; 22 kids in his young fives class and two teachers. http://fortis.heritageacademies.com/

The school is one in a chain of schools and the other schools in the area will be available to be seen on the website, you just have to navigate it a bit.
Good luck!

I went to Divine Child for High School and it was a GREAT school (17 years ago...YIKES, where does the time go?!?!?). College prep classes, uniforms, religion, great sports teams, art, music..... It's not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for. A co-worker of mine has a daughter that is enrolled in the high school now and they are very pleased with the program.

DC does have an Elem & Middle School.

Our Church has a wonderful 10 grade school. Metropolitan Junior Academy. Here's the Address, Website and Phone number. Its on Haggerty close to 5 mile. Its technically in Plymouth, but one block from the Livonia town limit.

Its a great atmosphere, small student teacher ratio and our denomination as a whole has a terrific academic record, even across socioeconomic and racial lines.
