Families do extensive research before choosing a school for their child, including school interviews and campus visits, however very few schools have ever offered students a free “test drive.” This opportunity has presented itself at Newbridge Academy in Nova Scotia. They are offering new students free tuition for the remainder of the 2008-09 school year.
For parents concerned their child may not be at the best school or for families considering the option of a private education, it is hard to find a better offer than this. There are a few caveats, though, since after all, nothing in life is truly free.
While fully qualified new students do indeed get a full tuition scholarship, they also must enroll in the Primary Sport (either Hockey or Multi-sport) and the Active Living™ Curriculum. These programs do cost money (although in some cases the expenses may be tax deductible) and enrollment space is limited.
Like many private and independent schools, the school’s philosophy is to simultaneously emphasize academics and athletics, in a comprehensive educational model that is individualized for each student. A relatively new school, Newbridge Academy has already earned respect and accolades from parents who have found the experience to really be a benefit to their athletically-minded youngsters.
The bottom line? If you’ve ever considered a private school education for your child but were hesitant for whatever reason, now’s the time to give it a go.
