Finding the best Vancouver school for your child(ren)

As you decide whether to send your child to a public school, independent school or private school in Vancouver, consider these questions:

• How does the school inform parents of student progress, both formally and informally?
• What is the school's reputation within the community of BC and within the education community (including universities, colleges, other schools in Vancouver and elsewhere)?
• How do you feel about the leadership of the school, as well as its teachers and other staff?
• How convenient is the school for you in terms of location, after-school care and other issues?
• What makes the school unique, and how well do its unique factors truly appeal to you, your family and your child(ren)?
• Consider how up-to-date the technology, sports and education facilities are.
