  Pay a visit

When you have a recommendation or heard about a school you want to enroll your child, it is advisable that you make a diligent effort to visit the school and see things for yourself. While you are at the school, you should be allowed to visit with the principal; teachers and other parents to get a good idea of what the expectations are for parent involvement, how faculty and staff relate to students and what the overall learning environment looks like.

Ask questions

Before your school visit, prepare some questions to ask the principal and teachers you meet.

Such questions may include how teachers are trained and how they are monitored. You would also need to know how children behaviour is monitored and other questions you may need to ask.

Talk to parents, students

Talk to neighbors or parents you meet while visiting the school to find out if they and their children are happy with the quality of education offered there. Ask if the staff are responsive to needs and concerns and if parents are involved with the school’s operations.

Get in touch with a PTA meeting

In addition to finding out more about current events at the school you are considering, this is an excellent way to collect names and phone numbers of parents at the school that you can contact later. PTA meetings are usually available to all parents at the school, as well as the general public, so your presence should be welcome.

Check out scores

Test scores may not tell everything about the effectiveness of a school, but they are an important component in determining how well the students at that school are performing academically.
