Before zeroing in on a school for your child

School Admission

• Its the season of admission. A good school
  ensures future success. So many parents are
  looking out for a school with best facilities and
  great atmosphere.
• Choosing the right school is quite a difficult
  task. Most of the parents go by either word of
  mouth or by references, while choosing a school.
  But it is necessary for parents to keep a few
  things in mind before finalising a school.

Is the school future ready?

• A child spends almost 14 years in a school. It is
  therefore important for parents to see whether
  the school is future ready or not. Children
  should be taught -
• The ability to learn,unlearn and relearn
• To be problem solvers and enhance their critical
  thinking ability
• to be team players

2.Are their teachers skilled enough?

• Many parents focus on infrastructure, curriculum
  and extracurricular activities of a child but
  forget to meet the teachers of the school. A
  student spends most of the time with the teacher
  so it becomes essential to know their teacher as
  well.
• Few points to be asked
• Qualification of a teacher
• Experience of a teacher
• Do they get refresher training every year

3. Does learning happen outside the textbooks?

• We live in the era where a typical person is
  bombarded by information from a variety of
  sources. So if learning were confined to reciting
  lessons from textbooks and answering questions
  from the lesson, that would make kids unaware of
  their surroundings. So as a parent you should
  choose a school where learning happens from
  different modes like project work and hands-on
  activities other than the textbook.

4. How is technology used in classroom?

• At present, digital classrooms are becoming a
  norm in every school. With a set of videos,ppts
  and images it becomes easier for a teacher to
  explain and for students to understand things
  easily.
• Apart from this, parents should see whether the
  children are exposed to application of technology
  as opposed to just being taught features and
  functions

5.What is the value system of the school?

• It is important for schools to provide moral
  guidance to children, in addition to education.
• As a parent, you should notice whether the school
  preaches and practices, kindness, politeness and
  other moral values as well as whether the
  children encouraged to help people in need.
