Personal
Development
When looking for
the best private schools, parents have many different academic institutions
available to satisfy the high expectations they have for their children’s
education. A private education scores top grades when stacked against public
education. The best private schools offer more than just high-level curriculum
– they offer an opportunity for students to develop a sense of community and
self-worth that is unparalleled.
Private schools
that value both the educational and personal development of their students are
the ones which consistently send well-rounded and prepared graduates off to
post-secondary institutions. Students who will continue to apply their
above-average skills to achieve ultimate success.
Private schools
have the tools and the capacity to effectively help each student reach their
true potential. By integrating the latest educational technology trends,
students can become fully engaged; not only in the curriculum at hand but also
in the new methods of technology that enhance the learning process.
A Tech Savvy
Classroom
As a result of
this technological integration, students in private schools are achieving high
rates of literacy and numeracy at an increased speed. Parents watch as their
children learn the basics of the classroom, all the while attaining an
above-average understanding of the subjects which will set them up for success
in both post-secondary education as well as in real life applications.
In addition to
the benefits of educational technology, students also have the chance to
participate in high level athletic programs, clubs and organizations. This
gives students tremendous opportunity to further develop their own personal
skills. Teaching sportsmanship in competition, while developing the social skills that come with being a part of any
group, team or club will prepare them for high-level positions in the
workforce. The advantages of participating in extra-curricular activities are
numerous. Students develop relationship and leadership skills while expanding
upon their interests and enjoying the company and encouragement of their peers.
Smaller Class
Sizes
The best private
schools offer smaller class sizes giving each pupil the opportunity to develop
a voice and personality within the classroom. True relationships are fostered
between teachers and students, creating trust and respect on both sides. With
large classroom sizes that the public-school system is plagued with, it is
often difficult to develop the real connections that lead to better grades and a
better understanding of the topics. With a smaller group, students naturally
feel more inclined to get involved in class discussions and to ask questions.
Teachers get to know their students better and can effectively address the strengthsand weaknesses of each individual, allowing for better communication with
parents in regards to where improvements can be made.
Smaller class
sizes help students feel more confident and involved in the learning process.
They offer an environment where learning is encouraged through active
participation, as opposed to brisk note taking and simply listening to lectures.
Students truly feel as though their voices are heard, questions are answered
and they have a true partnership with their teacher.
