It’s what all parents want for their children: the chance to reach their full potential.
For many families, the key is finding the right school that can meet their children’s needs and provide a well-rounded education, from academics and life skills to character, physical and social development. This often leads families to explore private schooling.
Finding the right school can be a challenge, however.
Some parents are blocked by a perceived lack of options because of financial, geographic, or other constraints. For them any alternative to their local public school can seem inaccessible.
Others have the opposite problem: they grasp how many and how diverse the school options are for parents, but are overwhelmed by this realization. Stepping outside the mainstream educational system requires parents to make more decisions – often with lifelong consequences for their children. Parents running busy households need the confidence and basic tools for making those decisions.
Still others may already have a clear idea of what they want, but need a way to generate a full list of schools meeting their specific criteria.
