Expert Answer

Choosing the right age for private school depends on your priorities for your child as a parent. Sending your child at a young age can help create a love for learning and set them up with the reading and math skills needed to succeed at higher grades. Focusing on high school offers many opportunities such as International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement that can really help prepare a student for university. High school will also provide an opportunity to learn outside the classroom and allow students to develop passion, creativity and athleticism through extracurricular activities.
