How did you choose your childs school?

For me, my parents gave me the choice to choose my own schools and courses. They might give opinions but the decision rested with me. That's why I can't blame them if anything goes wrong. :P

Me toois in the search of good schoo for my kid as i want him to get well educated. According to my opinion iam in search of that school which should have good and well trained faculty 1st and foremost thing and next it should have good studing atmosphere where they should think that they are working hard,next it should have a vaste play ground,good and well cleaned bathrooms,classrooms,wide and big blackrooms with good sitting system,good and well patienced clearners,takecarers,effective and experienced watchman and finally the fee processings that come into my buidget.

there were a lot of reasons's that went into choosing my daughter's school. first of all she was attending dance class before i had to register her for school. all the kids in dance class went to this one school, the mother's kept telling me what a great school it was and i wanted her to go where some of her friends would be. also i wanted her in a french catholic school. this school also has a program for mostly english speaking kids going to a french school. this school is also closer to my house. she wouldn't be on the bus long if she were going to the school the city wants to send her to cause it's our zone she'd be on the bus for an hour. every year as well with all the testing there is a document that comes out and scores the schools and this was the top school in our area. so there was a lot of reasons why i chose this school.

I choose the school based on the teaching methods, reputation of the school, location, school security and environment, affordability and the values education being inculcated into the curriculum. I enroled my daughter in a school that uses the Montessori system.

Well i do not know how u guys choose schools for ur kids in the UK but here in India the process is quite diff from the one in the western world here the schools chooses the kids yes the other way around and here the parents are called for interviews and on their educational back ground the kid is then interviewed and then the admission is offered so thats how it works in India

We are very picky when it comes to where our kids go to school. We want them to have the best education and not have to be afraid to go to school. We looked into how the school was rated in the state. We also looked at the programs available in each grade level. We also looked at the crime rate for the city. Unfortunately higher crime rates mean lower scores in schools. We found one of the highest rated school districts in Texas and the crime rate was extremely low compared to a lot of other towns near by. We want the best for our children. My husband grew up in Chicago and he saw how bad things could be so we did everything we could to avoid schools like that.

We had a choice of which public school to send our son to and we decided to send him to a french immersion school as in Canada,it was important at the time to be able to use both official languages to get a federal job.

There are no league tables in Ireland so I have gone completely by personal experience and how friends kids have gotten on in different schools. I would not just send my child to the nearest school, its very complex involving a good few factors.

In regards to choosing the school for my children well where we were living at the time it was the closest school it was only 5 minutes from home, and later I went and worked for the Department of Education here in Sydney, and found out that the school where my children were attending although it was a public school was the highest in Sydney at that particular time actually our Prime Minister children attended the same school as well but he was not the Prime Minister at that time yet. Yes the school did live up to its expectations.

i still don't have a kid to do it but if i do have one i would choose on the basis of it's community because i would like my child to be with people whom he could be with when he grows up to be an adult in the real world of business.

Yes, my wife and me decided on the school for my children. We selected a few schools in our neighborhood and then we checked out the past performance of these schools in the national examination and we ensured that Tamil was taught in the school. Our decision was good, cause our acceptation was met by the school

in my town there are 2 schools, one's closer to our house than the other. And one is the one I went to, so that's the one my daughter goes to. Easy choice. It will be tougher to pick a school after she's done with elem. school.

When I was looking at house I knew that I wanted to make sure that the school district that the house I was going to purchase was a good one. So whenever I would look up a house I would cross reference it to where the school was listed on the states list of best schools. I knew I wanted a small town school that was highly ranked. I also got recommendations from friends. I am happy with the choice I made for the most part. The small school has helped my son who needed smaller classrooms. The teachers in a smaller school has more time to spend with the children.
