How to choose the right School for My Child: A Parent's Guide

22-06-2025

From the moment you expect your baby, it is essential to start thinking: What type of education do I want for my child?

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent. Education is much more than just an academic setting: it's the place where your children will grow, learn, and begin to build their future.

From the moment you expect your baby, it is essential to start thinking: What type of education do I want for my child?

Why is it important to choose a school early?

Many parents wait until their children finish kindergarten or are about to enter elementary school to look for a larger, more established school. However, this wait can often make the transition difficult due to academic, philosophical, and methodological differences between schools.

Choosing a school from the outset that supports your child's development from their earliest years allows for a natural adaptation process and prevents frustrations, delays, or imbalances in their learning and emotional well-being.

Key questions for choosing the right school

Before making a decision, reflect as a family on these essential questions:

  • Are the school's values, goals, and educational philosophy aligned with those of my family?
  • Does the school ensure solid preparation for the 21st century, encouraging teamwork, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the use of technology?
  • Does the school have qualified teachers, ongoing supervision, and professional feedback?
  • Do you comprehensively consider my child's emotional, social, physical, and academic needs?
  • Are the number of students per group and the spaces adequate to provide personalized attention and quality learning?
  • Does the school offer bilingual education, international programs, or extracurricular activities that contribute to comprehensive development?

 

Benefits of choosing well from the beginning

When you choose the right school from the earliest years, you build a strong and harmonious relationship between the family and the institution. This facilitates agreements, personalized follow-up, and continued growth in an environment that shares your principles and expectations.

An informed choice allows your children to feel supported, motivated, and happy, both academically and personally.
