Brochures
and websites are helpful, but there
is no substitute for a school visit
to obtain direct knowledge of a school.
To make the most of your choice, you
should consider the following:
Is there enthusiasm
among students and teachers?
Does the school have
a strong academic background?
Are students attentive
in classrooms?
Are there adequate
facilities for technology,
the library, and science?
Does the school place
an emphasis on extracurricular
activities that are interesting
and challenging?
Is the campus safe?
Are the premises well-maintained?
Is there a caring
environment?
Does the school share
my values?
How much freedom
do students have at each grade level?
Does the school encourage
parent involvement and clearly
outline what is expected of parents?
