  2. What facilities and equipment does the school offer?
  3. What extracurricular and co-curricular activities are available?
  4. How does the school challenge and support student achievement and leadership?
  5. How does the school encourage involvement amongst parents, teachers and students?
  6. Ask for an outline of the school calendar. How long is the school day and the school year?
  7. What curriculum guidelines does the school follow and how are students evaluated?
  8. What is the average class size?
  9. What are the transportation options for my child?
  10. What is the admission process for my child? When and how do I apply? Does the school have specific intake years? Is there a waiting list?
