With so much at stake, it is no wonder that a lot of parents are anxious about making the right decision. If you are checking out options, here are factors that you will want to consider before you choose a school.

The Curriculum

What kind of curriculum does the school use? Many Bangalore international school use the international programme as well as the local Central Board Secondary School. Some schools offer Global Montessori programs for kindergarten and CBSE for grade 1 onwards. Remember, it is not easy for your kids to be the new kids on the block. So choosing a curriculum that helps them settle quickly with the new group is of utmost importance. 

The Medium Language

Look for a school that uses English as a medium of instruction. If you already speak English at home, then this is another way to help your kids adapt. However, if you live in the country and you want your child to grow up fluent and proficient in the language, then choosing the right school will help. English is widely spoken in most parts of the world. Knowing how to communicate in this language will open doors for your children—both professionally and personally.  

The Students

A diverse student population will help your kids understand the importance of inclusivity and of respecting other belief systems, cultures, and backgrounds. That aids in developing a global mindset and perception. Growing up, your kids will be mindful of other people and sensitive against discrimination of any sort. They grow up fair.

The Location

How far is the school from your home? While it might not be such an issue right now with online classes, what happens when in-person classes resume? Already, some schools are opening for in-person classes. That is going to happen for your kids, too. What you want to make sure is that the school is not too far away that your children will need to wake up too early just so they can beat the traffic to get to their classes. As for bringing your kids to school or picking them up, you can always arrange for transportation to take them. However, in the time of Covid-19, it does seem safer to just take over the driving duties for now.

The Teachers

The teachers are the biggest asset of any school. They make a difference in children’s lives. If they are invested in the development of every child in their class, if they care, all that comes across. Your kids will also enjoy their time better at school with entertaining and wonderful teachers.
