Selecting a primary school is one of the most significant decisions you will make for your child. It sets the foundation for their lifelong journey. Whether you are considering Right Education Foundation or another institution, here are 7 essential factors every parent should evaluate:
- A Holistic Curriculum: Does the school focus only on grades, or do they value character, sports, and life skills? Look for a school that nurtures the “whole child.”
- Teacher-to-Pupil Ratio: Smaller class sizes mean your child receives the individual attention they need to thrive.
- Safety and Environment: Is the school compound secure? Is the atmosphere welcoming and conducive to curiosity?
- Values and Ethos: Does the school’s mission align with your family’s values? At REF, we prioritize “Right Education” as a fundamental human right.
- Facilities and Resources: Check for well-maintained classrooms, a library, and space for physical play.
- Parental Engagement: A good school views parents as partners. Look for open lines of communication and regular progress updates.
- Success Stories: Look at the “products” of the school. Are the alumni confident, disciplined, and successful in their next steps?
