I have taken my daughter out of school for Disney up until high school. When I first approached the principal about doing so, he told me time with the family is more important than what she can learn in those four days. It was great. But high school is a little different for me. My daughter is in the A+ program and attendance is critical and the A+ program is college money. So now as a freshman we plan trips outside of school time. Plus at that age they are into sports and music so in a lot of years look at it again and decide. Have a VERY WONDERFUL MAGICAL time with your family.
