Yes, I know I've mentioned this before, but I am thinking about where I would like to send Braeden to school. He will be 4 years old in October, but I feel that it is never too early to start preparing. And though I went to public schools my whole life, I have been looking into k-12 Private Schools.The reason for my wanting to get Brae into a private school is because I have seen the outcome first hand with one of my younger cousins. He has been able to excel exponentially while being in a private school and I admire his determination. I feel the smaller classes and dedicated teachers really help to keep children committed. They are so many disciplinary problems in public school and so many children who don't want to be there and their parents don't seem to care. I feel that if you send your child to a private school and are paying for the service that you'll be putting you child in a classroom with other children whose parents really do care about their child's education. Do you know what I mean?
Education Seek is a website with an extensive directory of k-12 Private Schools. It's helpful to be able to look through and compare the different types of programs available nationwide. In addition to offering the directory, they also offer guidance and list things to consider when choosing a private school.
The site also mentions the fact that many private schools are considered college-prep schools. These schools claim higher academic achievement and a more positive pier environment than most public schools. Much of these results are attributed to better-compensated educators, fewer restrictions, and student bodies that have higher academic standards for themselves.
So, if you're like me and like to prepare and research; be on the ball for your child. You should check out their site, it has a lot of valuable information.
