Laying a good educational foundation at an early age goes a long way in setting a very solid ground on which our kids achieve academic excellence and become better citizens in the society in future. With a lot of schools promising quality education, it is not easy to decipher which one of the schools would be the best for our kids.
Here are a few tips that could you out when looking for a school for your child:


·        Research about the  school; ask parents that have their children in the school for their honest opinions
·        Do not just choose a school because it is probably the “IN” school or you want to be seen amongst a certain elite class
·        Visit the school at intervals especially when the school is in session to get first hand opinion of the school and the learning atmosphere of the school; remember, that you may need the permission of the school authorities for this
·        Inspect the environment critically and check out the facilities they have
·        If possible schedule a trial class for your kid with the school; this might give you an idea of how your child will fit in – after all, it is not just about you but more about the kid
·        Interact with the teachers; this will help you in accessing the school to a reasonable extent and especially as to their depth of knowledge – if they are shoddy, then they probably can’t teach your child well
·        Check the school’s past record of success
