"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school."
— Albert Einstein
The choice is yours...
Making the right choice for your child's education is crucial in setting them up to be lifelong learners. While there are many aspects of education that you would expect to find in all schools, you will also find many differences. These differences often need to be considered when it comes to finding the best fit for your child.
You know your child best.
Before you can even begin to consider schools and education options, it's important to ask a few questions of yourself and your child.
What are my child’s strengths and weaknesses?
What are our family values?
What do I believe learning looks like?
What do I believe is the purpose of education?
What kind of relationship do I want with my child’s school?
Some questions to ask when you visit schools...
With a better understanding of what sort of education you and your child are looking for, you can then ask the right questions about a school to determine if they are a good fit.
What is the culture of the school?
What are the core values of the school?
What do the teachers value here?
How will you prepare my child for the future?
What do you hope a child who attends your school leaves knowing or believing?
What resources are available to help my child when he or she is struggling?
What is the school’s bullying policy?
