4 Steps to Selecting the Best School in Ahmedabad for Your Children

 

 How to select the best schools for your child? Whether you choose to home schooling or public or private schools, whether you will be paying tuition or not, careful planning is essential. Remember that you are looking for a school that will provide an educational experience that is as rewarding as possible for your child and you.

Here are 4 steps to choose the best school in ahmedabad that is right for your child:

1. Think of your children and family

Start looking for the best school by thinking about what you want the school to do for your child. Your child may have special language or educational needs. Keep this in mind.

2. Collect information about schools

If you're looking to buy a car, a vacuum cleaner, or a refrigerator, you can talk to friends and family and look up information online, consumer magazines, or other published sources. Similarly, when surveying a school, you may need to make phone calls, gather written materials from other schools, and find reports in local newspapers to get the information you need. Reliable school information can be found online at the sites listed in the Resources section of this booklet and at other sites. Finding a school that does the best for your child will be worth the hard work.

Along with school curriculum and philosophy, you will be interested in learning about school policies and services. Parents may also consider extracurricular programs offered by the school, such as sports, clubs, tutoring, or academic enrichment. After-school activities in some schools are funded by the Ministry of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Center Program. The center offers educational activities outside of normal school hours that complement what is taught at school 'after school or during summer break'. You can also ask if your school has complementary education services, including free tutoring, that are offered after school hours through No Child Left Behind.

3. Visit and Inspect Schools

Contact the school of interest to schedule a visit. If possible, visit schools during regular school hours and attend some classes. For a realistic understanding of how the school operates, avoid school visits during the first or last week of the school session.

A great way to get answers to your questions is to make an appointment with the school principal. Whenever possible, attend an open house, parent meeting, or other school event that will also provide valuable insight into the attitudes of staff, students, and parents.

Listen carefully to what teachers have to say about school. Teachers will be the closest adults to your children and will want to know if they are well-prepared, dedicated, and happy with their job.

4. Apply to your chosen schools

After you choose the school that you think is the best fit for your child, you will go through the process of applying to and enrolling your child in the school of your choice. Consider applying to more than one school if your child is not accepted into the first school they choose.
We recommend that you start this process as soon as possible to ensure all deadlines are met.

Admissions procedures may vary. Your child may be required to take a test or interview, and may be asked to provide a transcript from the school, references, or other information. It may be useful to know about the school's admission criteria. You'll want to double-check that you have accurate information on when and how to apply.
