The First Step To Success Is Schooling - Choosing The Best School For Your Kid
Board
In India school education is categorized under state board, CBSE, ICSE and IGCSE. Choosing the appropriate board depends upon a few criteria. In case you have a transferable job its better to choose the central board, as its uniform across the country. But, if you are planning to broaden the education horizons for your child and send him/ her overseas for higher studies, ICSE or IGCSE is a better option.
Approach
A school which takes the holistic approach is always better than a school that concentrates only on academics. All round development of the child includes emotional development, social development, cognitive development and more. Every child is unique and a school that recognizes the individual worth of a child and fosters it, is by far a school to reckon.
Infrastructure
These days, schools are growing in leaps and bounds. Every other day you see a schooling popping up from nowhere and housed in small setups due to lack of space. When deciding upon your child's school, do check out the infrastructure of the school by personally visiting the school. Children need adequate space for learning as well as extra curricular activities. Check out for a wide spread campus, spacious and well equipped classrooms, laboratories, music, art and sports facilities as well as medical and food facilities thoroughly.
Security

These days, schools are equipped with CCTV cameras in and around the campus and have security personals as well. But, you need to confirm from the school authorities about safety and security standards and measures followed by them. Also, talk to people with kids studying in the school, track the past records and find out the security and safety information about he school. At the end, security is priority, so even if the schools has all the facilities but lacks in safety and security, it's not worth opting for.
Location
