<p>Distance: Ask your child a bit about the distance. Consider issues also like getting home and if they are ‘good’ with flying, changing planes, etc. How much exposure have they had to this? One of ours HATES to fly. This, of course, would limit options!</p>
<p>Visits with Family Along: Dh took our daughter on the first go round (he ‘senses’ things better than I do and will ask the tough questions) With second visits, I went too and younger sibling usually came</p>
<p>Conservative/Liberal: Not sure about conservative schools (maybe some in the NC/SC area???). But I can tell you that Quaker/Friends schools tend to be really liberal (which is fine by me…but you would likely NOT want that situation as the conservative beliefs are respected but not presented much, in my experience).</p>
<p>Good luck. It is a journey!
