TIPS IN CHOOSING THE RIGHT SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN IS QUALITY EDUCATION.

Like what the old saying goes, you can get anything away from a person but not his

knowledge.

So, wise parents are always looking out for the best school to enroll their children. However, with so many options available

it may be a little difficult for you to decide which one is the best.

ASK FOR REFERRALS.

Who else can give you the best advice but your co-parents in the neighborhood, right?

ASK FOR REFERRALS.

Ask them about the school where they child studies. Is the tuition fee justified by the quality of education? Are the teachers friendly and competent enough in educating their students? Have they been studying in this school for years?

From the referrals you got, list down the ones you’re interested in and...

KNOW THE REPUTATION OF THE SCHOOL.

KNOW THE REPUTATION OF THE SCHOOL.

Did they do something bad to their not-so-well-behaved student? Are there any conflicts in the management that may affect the studies of the children?

Make sure that the school has a good reputation in terms of quality, excellence, and standards.

CHECK THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

CHECK THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.

Is the library complete with books and reference materials? Are the hallways, stairs, and rooms safe enough for the little kids to run around? Are there any emergency stuff like first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and fire exit necessary when there’s an accident?

You should also check out whether the location of the school is near your house or your work so it’s accessible wherever you need to come around.

MEET THE TEACHERS AND STAFF.

MEET THE TEACHERS AND STAFF.

Your child will spend a large percentage of his/her day in school so you better make sure that the people he/she is going to spend hours with are kind, considerate, and wise because the behavior of a child depends mainly on the influence of the people around him/her.

READ THE CURRICULUM.

READ THE CURRICULUM.

Some parents overlook this matter but you should not. Check out whether there’s a balance between academic, athletic, and extracurricular activities for the students. Make sure they don’t focus on one aspect of learning only.

READ THE CURRICULUM.

It is also wise to know whether they are following the updated curriculum according to commission on education. One of the best types of schools that has a good curriculum are the international schools in Manila. This is because they’re flexible for both the local and nonlocal students.

BRING YOUR CHILD TO THE SCHOOL.

BRING YOUR CHILD TO THE SCHOOL.

And lastly, you should not be the only one to decide on this matter. Ask the opinion of your child. Does he/she like the school? Is he/she comfortable enough with the environment? Your child will be the best judge since he/she is the one who’s going to study there.
