Boslaugh, J.,
dissenting in part.
The record shows that both the guardian ad litem and the psychologist, Dr. Rizzo, were concerned about the continued attendance of the children at the Sword of the Spirit school.
It was the opinion of the psychologist that if the children continued to attend the Sword of the Spirit school, “their performance would need to be monitored on a yearly basis to see if they are in fact continuing to acquire ‘the basics’.” He further stated that if the children did leave the Sword of the Spirit school to go into a standard junior high school, “they will probably have a very difficult time because they will be substantially behind in the social and emotional and will need at least one to two years to shift into the public school system.”
In view of this evidence, it seems to me that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that it was in the best interests of the children to attend a public school and in ordering the *276respondent to register the children in the Millard public school system commencing in the fall of 1989.
