Not having any kids, I am not familiar with the school scene. Can anyone else send him some advice?

Strange request, I know... My family and I are soon moving to beautiful Charlotte and we are in the process of looking for a private school for our grade-school-aged daughter and son. We are very dedicated to their education. We are ardent Objectivists/Libertarians and are hoping to find a school that will not be adamantly opposed to these principles (as a few we have visited broadcast to be). Mainly, we are looking for a grade school that teaches inductively, teaches hierarchically, and teaches the proper subjects (for example, history as opposed to social studies). If you have any recommendations for a private school that would advance (instead of thwart) our shared ideals, my family would greatly appreciate the knowledge. Thanks for your time reading this! I look forward to any ideas you might have. Likewise, I look forward to becoming an active and contributing member of the party when I arrive later this year. Thanks again!

There is no other alternative to totalitarian slavery than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general welfare than to let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment, rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than private initiative and free enterprise." -Ludwig von Mises Founder, Austrian School of Economics March 30, 1945
