Why choose private school?
Stratford private schools have an array of benefits that attract parents. Some reasons why parents go private are as follows:
- Parents can be more involved in the school by volunteering, participating in committees, or just visiting after school. They have more say in what children learn, what the school environment is like, and other aspects of school life.
- Parents often have more interaction with teachers, who tend to be available outside of work hours and feel responsible to tuition-paying parents.
- Smaller class sizes mean instructors can dedicate more time to individual students and manage the class.
- There are enriched academic opportunities, both for gifted students and for kids with exceptional needs.
- Many private schools have a more progressive-minded global vision.
