Overview

Once parents have determined what their academic objectives and values are, it is crucial to select a school that shares those goals and values. Ideally, school and parents should form a partnership, working together to help children learn, grow, and strive for personal success. As school choice becomes more common, parents are faced with the increasingly complex decision of where to send their children. Even very young children spend up to 60 percent of their time traveling to or attending school, and the influence that learning environment has on them cannot be overstated. This invaluable guide provides parents with the information they need to choose the best school for their children. After determining which qualities parents should look for in an educational institution, author and educator Marg De Roo, EdD, examines the benefits of each quality as well as the lasting impact each has on children. She has created a tool parents can use to analyze and compare schools. Educational practices and beliefs are as diverse as our broad communities. With a matching set of values and priorities, the school and parents can focus on what is best for the children-and then look forward to a bright future.
