Every family has a different reason for considering a private school education, but nearly all agree that private schools provide their children with:
Smaller classes and more structure
Preparation for post-secondary studies
A shared philosophy and approach to education
Enriched and focused academic setting
More emphasis on specialties like art, music, athletics and extracurricular activities
Many chances for parents to get involved and more accountability to parents
Students who attend private schools can be more academically challenged, exposed to clearer value systems, given greater access to teachers, and may simply feel safer. Some features parents look for when they turn to the private system include a specific educational approach, such as Montessori or Waldorf; a particular religious or cultural setting; a strong academic setting or a program for children who are gifted; the ability to accommodate special needs; the flexibility to accommodate special scheduling required by art, music or sports training.
