I have a friend moving down from Alaska in a few months to take a job in Jacksonville.  She brings with her 4 children, 3 of her own and 1 she has custody of.  They all have a various range of needs for schooling as any child would.  Their ages are 11, 9, 6, and 2. 

The 6 and 2 year old have been attending a school run by the local Jewish temple and my friend would like them to continue down that path.  Also the 6 yr old has some breathing issues, has a nebulizer, epi-pen, and other various medical needs that would need to be handled by the school.

The 9 year old has been attending a Christian run school and doesn't have any additional medical needs.

The 11 year old has been through a hard life and he is the one she has taken custody of.  He has been diagnosed /w ADHD and needs special care and understanding. 

Assuming cost isn't an object and she is comfortable with private schooling, where would be the best schools for the children?  She hasn't bought a home yet to move down here so she has time to help this impact her decision, and I don't have any children, or have friends with school age children so I'm imploring you folks for help.

Thanks in advance.  If there are any questions to help with recommendations please let me know.
