Wife and child, what are the concerns and pitfalls you can point out regarding a 10 yr old and Wife moving to CT.

Best private school, any recommendations on what the top schools are?

Great neighborhoods to consider, I will be working downtown. (prefer a yard, not apartment)

Any thoughts on what we will miss most, or have trouble adjusting to?

I guess that is a start, we are still in negotiationson this, but want to aleivate some stress on the decision to move my family to CT.

Thanks for any insight.
You do not necessarily need a private school, some public schools (Ones called Former model C schools) keep equivalent standards and have great facilities at a fraction of the price. A lot of these are quite far out in the suburbs though. If you want private schools though you could consider Bishops(A top private school and also one of only 4 schools in the world that can award Rhodes scholarships to its former pupils)
