Choosing the right school for your child

I often have parents asking me where should i send my children?

My answer ....... speak to the teachers of schools that interest you.

Don't worry about what there brochure looks like, how professional it is or how the schools ranks in the standardized testes. Instead, speak to the people who are on the ground, the ones who will actually be influencing your child for potentially the next 6-12 years. The teachers are the people you will be forming relationships with - not the marketing director, the head of admin or the enrollment officer.

Speak to the teachers and get a feel for their philosophy, for how they treat you, for how the students respond to them in the playground. This is what will best inform your decisions when choosing a school for your child.
