Choosing a school for your child is a very difficult choice but a child can greatly benefit from a right choice. There are many different aspects to consider when deciding on a school for your child.
The school of your choice should be not too far from your home so you make sure your child gets proper sleep which is vital for children as it helps in concentrating during lessons and their brains will perform better.
The school of your choice must neither be a big school where teachers are less willing to take responsibilities, social interactions are more formal and less personalized, a good leadership and diverse curricula nor a small one where lower levels of learning and social discrimination based on knowledge of some children’s background are found, a middle size school would be the best to ensure a proper social interaction for your child.Look for a school of a good academic, moral and social reputation. If you are looking for religious education then for sure you should look for private religious schools.
In general, your choice must render on the best learning center school that offers the best academic educational process.
You need to visit the school in order to have an idea about its policy and mission, its staff and its building. Meet the teachers and try to know what they aim to teach other than academics in their classes and their detention policy as you need to make sure that it doesn’t affect your child’s character and feelings. You have to make sure that the school offers a safe teaching environment, a wide range of learning styles and teaching methodologies, with progressive classes to prepare students for a better allocation and cares for keeping a continuous contact with parents.
Make sure that the school building is safe equipped with all safety techniques and a nurse, schools with walls printed with bright colors as this could be relaxing for the students, comfortable school furniture, clean rest rooms and a healthy and safe playground.
Parents need to pay attention to the importance of invigilating their children performance and keep a continuous contact with teachers as students will feel supervised and safe.

Actually,this is my concern at this time,I was looking for the suitable school for my child, unfortunately the one I decided to enroll my children in is too far from my home, but it is the most suitable and have a good reputation academically, they teach Arabic, French, English in parallel.That is what I am seeking for actually.As well as they emphasize physical activities. Finally we should care about the good outcomes of our children, make a daily follow up, attending school meetings as well as sharing our concerns and interests and our children's ones with their teachers. Parents are the dynamo who motivate their children toward education.
This post is of double fold; one that guides me as a teacher and the other that sets an explicit vision for my future responsibility as a parent. Looking at the ideas with a teacher’s lens, I believe that a teacher should take into consideration student’s home location, the reputation of the school from parents’ perspectives, teacher’s roles according to parental expectations, the teaching methodologies, strategies, and skills that parents seek to find for their children to integrate, practice, and master, the quality of service and healthy environment that are required, and many others. On the other hand, looking at the post with a parental lens, you made me pay some more attention to the distance between school and home, this in addition to the empirical field trip that I should take to the school checking for safety, cleanness, facility, offered services, and comfort. Thank you!
interesting topic ziad ! parents should look at the several factors mentioned to ensure that their child gets the best quality teaching ..
Really it is an interested topic, it is a problem faced many parents but some of them do not take it into consideration and choose school for their children without looking to the strategies of teaching used by school focusing only on school location.
Hello Ziad. It is real problems.Parents now a days face a big problem in choosing the appropriate school for their children especially in our country because we take in consideration the religious aspect and other factors might affect our choices as parents.
