5 Effective Ways to Choose the Right School for your Child

School plays a vital role in every person’s life. The adult we become has roots in the schooling we receive. A great school which aligns well with your child’s temperament, intelligence & creativity can make all the difference.

Let’s look at some tips which will help you make the right choice

1.    Research

Before you shortlist schools, do thorough research. You need to understand what kind of environment your child thrives in. Ask questions like ‘Does your child need extra attention?’ Based on the answers, look at the schools at your disposal.

2.     Philosophy of the School

Try & understand the core values of the school. How much importance they give to academics & extra-curricular activities, get to know their approach towards schooling. Schools like Ryan International School, and Podar School have a holistic approach where they not only encourage students in academics but also in arts & sports which help develop their overall personality.

3.    School Curriculum

Nowadays there are several boards of education in India like CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE, state board & all have their perks. Enquire which curriculum does the school teach & if the curriculum changes in the higher standards.

4.   Staff

Enquire if the school has a teacher training program & specialized staff like speech therapists. Since teachers are the closest adults to the children, make sure the attitude is positive & they are dedicated towards teaching.

5.     Talk to Parents & Students

This will help you calm your nerves the most. Talk to the parents & current students, ask how their experience is and by talking to children you will also have an idea of what kind of etiquettes the school is imparting.

With the above tips you should be able to find a great school for your child.
