As a parent, you have choices about your child’s education. Considering the benefits of a private school opens up more opportunities and options. Every student is unique. While some may flourish in a public school environment, for others the customized approach and smaller class sizes of a private school may be the perfect fit.
What are the benefits of choosing a private school? Let’s delve into the reasons many parents are deciding a private school education is the best choice for their middle and high school students.
In general, private schools offer a much lower student teacher ratio, meaning your teenager gets more individual attention in the classroom. At Lydian Academy, one-on-one classes give young people the opportunity to learn at their own pace and in the style that suits them best.
Building strong relationships with talented and empowering faculty members can help students learn with the confidence and customized curriculum that they deserve. Every individual has a unique set of strengths and challenges, which can benefit from an individualized private school education.
Another one of the benefits of private schooling for students is access to additional resources, technology, and learning facilities.
With wise management of their budgets, private schools typically offer:
Private schools have a high proportion of their students go on to higher education, gaining acceptance at prestigious colleges and universities. Students can also participate in Early College High School or ECHS.
The ECHS program allows students to take community college classes as part of their high school coursework. These courses are weighted the same as high school AP courses and offer these additional advantages:
Private school graduates are uniquely prepared to achieve their life goals. Career counselors can focus specifically on your young person and help them work toward their dreams through curriculum, a network of alumni in all walks of life, and the opportunity to participate in internships and travel programs.
A diploma from a reputable private school will open doors to the top universities in the United States and around the world, allowing your child to follow their dreams of higher education or even an international baccalaureate degree. Many highly respected and successful individuals attended private school and are happy to help new graduates launch a meaningful career.
As a parent paying tuition to a private school, you may find that teachers and staff are more available to discuss any concerns or suggestions you may have. Schooling for your child may be year round and allow flexible start dates, online learning, and tutoring.
Frequent assessments and communication with parents about their child’s progress allow for faster responses to unexpected challenges or life situations. Test results are used to decide where a student’s needs have not been met, and course correction is possible at any time. Parents can meet and network together for social activities and to boost their school with field trips and fundraisers.
Choosing a private school might allow your child to make the most of their school years and provide a springboard for career connections and achieving their life goals. The best student ratio may be a one-on-one learning environment that is fully focused on the learner’s success.
