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.
