Supporting children in choosing a school that fits their abilities and interests

Dear parents, you are always concerned about the most important decision your child will face in life: choosing a high school to pursue their dreams. Most parents want their children to study at a reputable, quality high school that aligns with their interests and abilities. In this article, VSchool will share some criteria to help parents choose the right school.

Reputation and Quality of the School

This criterion includes the history, tradition, and teaching staff of the schools on your list. Parents can consider:

• Awards, honors, rankings, and assessments of the school.
• Curriculum, scholarships, and student support programs.
• Achievements, experience, and expertise of the teachers.
• Feedback from successful and influential alumni of the school.

Infrastructure

This criterion includes classrooms, facilities, equipment supporting learning, and other amenities of the school. Parents can inquire about:

• Equipment, technology, and resources supporting learning at the school.
• Quality of main classrooms, functional rooms, and spaces or fields for extracurricular activities.
• Transportation facilities for student commuting, food safety, and boarding facilities if available.

Assessing Your Child’s Interests and Abilities

Parents should discuss with their child about their interests and abilities. Ask your child:

• Which school do you want to apply to?
• What kind of learning environment do you prefer?
• How capable do you think you are academically?
• Do you consider yourself persistent, resilient, and passionate?
• What is your learning style like?

Advice from Teachers

Finally, parents should seek advice from teachers regarding the suitable high school choice. Teachers closely monitor students during their learning process and can provide better assessments of their academic performance and learning style. Additionally, teachers can offer valuable advice and recommendations on the schools parents and students are considering.

Choosing a high school for your child to continue their secondary education is a significant decision that will greatly impact their future. Parents should support their child by setting goals together, researching schools, assessing their child’s interests and abilities, and seeking advice from teachers. Most importantly, engage in thorough discussions and research to make the most accurate decision.
