What informs your decision when choosing a secondary school for your child?

T o help you choose the best school for your child, take the following into consideration;

*Look for schools that truly aim to educate the whole child by  
 offering a balanced intellectual, moral, social and physical 
 curriculum.

  subjects they teach?

  training programmes for their teachers.The evolving  
  nature of education demands that teachers are continuously 
  trained.

*Find out if their learning facilities are up to date and 
  functional. 

*Check the number of students in one class & no of teachers to 
  a class.

*Check if the school has trained counselors to handle 
  emotional issues and offer pastoral care.

School buildings do not teach nor impart knowledge so don't be carried away by beautiful school buildings.
