Answer 1

When my little sis was ready to choose her own school this is what we did.
First gather some of the school information fromt he school you want. When you come to them treat it almost like a buisness meeting and just maturly tell them that these are the reasons that you would rather go to the catholic school. But remember it also helps if you are willing to go to the open houses and such for the schools they want you to go to so you look open to their ideas.
The main thing really is treat them as you want them to treat you. Don't whine and cry that just makes you look like a kid and a kid can't make their own decisions.
Good Luck
