SRT TOLL Parents should gure out what type of school they are interested in, such as Religion based, Montessori, Waldorf or college prep. Parents should research the mission of the school and make sure it aligns with what they want. They should ask about the tuition costs and fees as well as whether the school o ers nancial aid, as many do. Parents should ask what tests the school administers. Most private schools do not administer the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness but may have students take some sort of norm-referenced test that compares them with other students of their age group nationally.
WHAT QUEST IONS TO ASK WHEN C HOO S I NG A PR I VAT E S C HOO L Texas has more than 1,400 accredited private schools, of which about 900 are also nonpro ts. To help parents choose the right school for their children, Laura Colangelo, the executive director of both the Texas Private Schools Association and the Texas Private School Accreditation Commission, o ers a few tips and suggestions.
Parents should nd out the school’s calendar, which may di er from area public school districts. Some schools may also go year-round with longer breaks. Parents should encourage the entire family to visit the school to get a feel for the atmosphere and to see if they can envision their children in that setting.
OTHER QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:
• Is the school accredited? • What is a typical day like?
• How much homework do students have? • What are the extracurricular activities? • How much time do students get to spend outdoors? • How are the teachers hired? • Are there any volunteer opportunities?
