Factors To Be Considered While Choosing A Good School


An old saying goes, “A school is the second home for a child.” This is perhaps why parents are becoming increasingly cautious while choosing from the best international schools India has for their kids. A child learns a lot of what he does solely from the school. It is at the school that he interacts with someone outside his family and makes his first friends. This makes it very important to choose a good school for the kid. Let us look at the factors to be considered while choosing a good school.


Community
Consider the social and economic class of people who send their kids to the particular school. While this may seem a tad judgemental to some people, this will go on to affect your child in ways you can’t even begin to fathom. Research proves that kids belonging to affluent families are more likely to be successful in life and grow up to have less psychological issues as compared to kids who belong to marginalised families. An indicator of the economic class of the families the kids of a certain school belong to is the fees of the school. Quite naturally, marginalised families can only afford to send their kids to a school with lower fees.


School environment
There is no guarantee that a family which is well-to-do also has the values that are important in the society. Hence, it is a good thing to look at the school environment and maybe find out the reasons for which the school you are considering has been in the news. Is it because of the school won some award? Did it participate in the exchange programme? Was there some mishap - maybe a leaked MMS or something? Do thorough research about the school before finalising it.

While I don’t mean to cause you too much stress about picking the right school, I really hope you understand the importance of picking the right school for your child.
