What makes a quality private school?
Sometimes it can be difficult to prioritise what’s most important in a school. To help you on your search, here are a few of the features we believe are non-negotiable in a private school.
- Excellent teaching staff. The quality of the teaching staff is paramount. They should be experts in their field, in-tune with students’ individual needs, and have a friendly yet firm attitude.
- Resources and facilities. If you opt to send your child to a private school, you are most likely expecting a variety of excellent resources and facilities. This might include science labs, laptop computers for students, a swimming pool and other sporting facilities, and more.
- Balanced teaching approach. Academia isn’t the be-all and end-all of school. The best schools nurture and encourage all talents and interests – sporting, artistic talents, and more.
- Academic results. Although we stand by the previous point, academic results are still important. Often, the results a school earns across the board reflects the quality of teaching staff.
