Private Schools

Parents have many reasons for choosing private schools over public. Academic excellence, smaller class sizes, specialized curricula, extracurricular activities, strong sense of community, values or religious affiliation, or accommodations offered are just some of the reasons that parents might choose to go with a private school. However, these factors can vary from school to school, and each family's reasons for choosing a private school may differ based on their specific needs, values, and aspirations for their child's education.

There are many factors to consider when deciding what private school is right for your family. Some of the most common considerations are commute, tuition, course rigor, schedule flexibility, rankings, ease of admission, teacher support, community/ environment, and what high schools/ colleges the school feeds into.

There are a wide variety of private schools, offering education from pre-school all the way to high schools. The youngest pre-school students are usually around 2 or 3, but it is important to look at each specific school's policies and age cutoff, as well as the environment for young children to make the best decision for your child.
