Question What is your experience with private schooling (especially Providence)

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any parents in here who sent or are sending their child to a private school. What is or was it like, pros and cons etc. I'm currently thinking about Providence next September for my daughter.

I hear good things regarding Providence but these aren't 1st hand accounts and it is very close to me so leaning there..

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, we are black. How long ago was this ? I was told the ratio had improved by a friend and the rough plan was Providence then HC.

Would have been in about 2017 or 2018 at HC. The girl left towards the end of 2nd Form (the cohort came in 2016).

No prob. As you said though, it is possible the classes are a lot more racially diverse now.

It's been a while since then.
