What's do you have against church schools, if you don't mind my asking? If you want a teacher who really cares for your child, you'll find it at a church-affiliated school. Not all teachers look at it as a calling, but these teachers do. They usually aren't paid very well, but do it for the children. That has been my experience, at any rate.
