FINDING A SCHOOL FOR YOUR CHILD

Finding a school for your child is a long drawn process involving several steps. Luckily for us, the Internet makes this process a whole lot easier. Follow these simple steps to find the right school for your child:

Step 1: List out Schools
Consider any and every school which catches your attention. Spend time to explore each school's web site and facilities. Reading what the students have to say is very important. This will help you find the best boarding school or whichever type of school you are looking for in your vicinity.

Step 2: Filter Your List
You need to discuss in detail each and every school on the list with your child. You may code the schools which end up on your short list. So, how exactly do you filter your original list of 10-12 schools? Ask lots of questions.
Do you want a coeducational school?
Do you want to go to a large or a small school?
What sort of facilities are you expecting?

The next question you have to consider is much tougher. "Are you a match for what the school is looking for?" After all, you don’t know what the school is looking for anyway. Educational consultants will help you develop a list of schools within your reach.

Step 3: Visit Schools

This is a crucial step you cannot miss. Though visiting schools you have shortlisted takes time, but tied in with the campus visit is the interview procedure. An interview is an opportunity to really assess whether the school is a fit for your child and his/her needs. You need to get this part right. For getting this part right, visit the school and ask lots of questions. Look into what is being taught and the methods of teaching.

Step 4: Admission Tests

Most schools use standard aptitude tests. It may be followed by an essay and a few other writing tests which your child will have to clear. To crack these tests, make sure your child has a lot of practice.

Step 5: Application and Fees

Most schools have online applications while some schools use a common application form. Many International day boarding in Delhi offer financial aid packages or even offer a free education.
