How do I know which school is best for my child?

Each child is unique and requires a unique environment which will allow them to reach their optimum potential. It is highly recommended that you visit the school nearest you, take a tour, meet with the principal and set up a shadow day. Your child’s reaction will be the best point of reference for your decision.
