Make sure that the school your child will be attending does not hold philosophical beliefs/teachings that are in opposition to the values you desire instilled and have instilled at home. A person's spiritual "education" is far more important than their academic education. Once you are over the age of 40, nobody cares whether you received your education from an ivy league school or local community college - what they DO care about is your character and integrity. When the subject of "where did you get your degree" comes up in conversation after that age, it's generally raised by someone who derives their confidence and identity from where they went to school as opposed to what they have achieved since then.
