✅ Step-by-Step Checklist: Choosing a Home by School District

1.

Catholic families can explore faith-based options through Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools.

3. Compare School Programs: Investigate offerings like French Immersion, STEM academies, Advanced Placement, or alternative outreach programs.

5. Search Homes Within the Catchment: Once you’ve selected a preferred school, focus your home search within its attendance boundary.
