Feeling you where you're coming from. In the part of the South I live in, I've seen only Protestant Christian Schools and Catholic (RC) schools - and home schooling. Haven't seen an Orthodox school as of late - although I know parents who give their children Orthodox education at the home and through their churches to make up for what may be taught in other schools. One girl I used to teach at the private school I was at ended up going to the high school I attended and she's Greek Orthodox - and thus, I had to keep in mind that she'll probably face battles similar to what others in Ancient Christian Churches dealt with in Evangelical circles.I wish we could afford to send him to city school district. They are more diverse and higher rated. I fear the one we plan on may be an over correction as it is primarily made up of rural white children and this IS The Deep South. It's a pity we can't pool resources and do a small Orthodox school. Our mission has 10-12 kids in the elementary-jr. high age range.
Praying the Lord would continue to work in your situation...
