Deciding on the private elementary school that is best for your child can be challenging. The video offers tips and guidance on how to carry out this process. You will need to sift through the various Miami private elementary schools, select a few that seem most promising, and then visit each of them in person.
Here are a few things you should look out for.
Look for engaged kids. Although school administrators will try to take you to model classes, you should try to peek into as many classrooms as you can. Look at the kids’ faces. If half of them look bored or disengaged, you should probably not send your child to that school. The best teachers are stimulating and are able to engage their kids most of the time.
You should also look for high expectations. Ask for student writing samples. By the time they get to grade school, kids should have a basic command of English, and their writing should reflect this. You should also check out bathrooms, hallways, and cafeterias. Good schools will have high expectations of students, teachers, and even custodians.
Finally, look for a positive school climate. Be sure to check out recess. This will tell you how kids treat each other and how the school handles kids who misbehave.
