5 Things to Consider When Choosing a School for Your Child

February 2, 2021 by Annie

Finding a good school for your child is a high-pressure job that will require a lot of time and research. Their schooldays should be remembered for the right reasons and will have a huge impact on their personalities and future careers, so this choice shouldn’t be rushed. A child will spend a lot of time at school, so they will need to feel comfortable, supported, and like they belong in their environment. Sometimes the school parents think would be best for their kids simply isn’t. To be sure you are making the right choice, here are 5 things to consider when choosing a school for your child.

Kindergarten, Clown, Garden, Animator, Holiday, Kids

School Type

Choosing a state or private school will normally depend on what parents can afford. If cost isn’t an issue, then you will need to spend some time before making this decision. To do so, you should gain an understanding of what both school types will offer your child, the school locations, and any admission issues you may face. If you are looking to board your child, then private is the best option.

The Grades

Grades will play an important role in your child’s future. Once you know what type of school you are going to go for, you will need to check the average grades achieved by students at schools in your local area. You should also make an effort to speak to parents about their experience, and get familiar with teachers and the grounds. This will help you gain a better understanding of what they have to offer.

Your Faith

If your household has strong religious views, then you should consider a faith school for your child. These offer many benefits, like a stable environment and similar moral base, and students often leave with higher grades, a close community of friends, and an inspiring and positive school experience. If you would like to learn more about faith schools and how they may benefit your child, check out visitation.net.

Their Friends

Sending your child to the same school as their friends, family, and/or siblings will make both of your lives a lot easier. You will feel more comfortable as a parent knowing your child is in a setting with children that are familiar and close to them. They will settle in faster too. If you have friends or family who have been sending their kids to the school for a while, they will be able to give you some feedback.

Daily Transport

The school run can be a nightmare if the school isn’t within walking distance and if there is no school bus in your area. If you have to drive your child to school, then finding a school that isn’t too far or on your way to work will make things much easier for you. If your child is going to the same school as their local friends, then you can talk to their parents about sharing the school run or for coping advice.

There are many things you need to consider before choosing your child’s school and don’t forget to ask them for their opinion. You will know all of the facts, but your child should have a say too.

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
