6 Ways a Private Montessori School Will Benefit Your Child
1. You Will Be Involved
Compared to public, community-based schools, the degree to which most parents are involved is drastically higher in private schools. This is down to a couple of reasons
The school emphasizes ensuring that parents are fully informed about all happenings in the school and that they are always included in educational decisions for their child.
Parents who elect to send their children to private schools are typically more caring about their children's educational development, leading them to be more involved at the school.
No matter what the reasons are, you will never be left out of the loop of your child’s education at a private school.
2. Unique Programs and Curriculums
Private schools tend to provide more specialized programs that can help your child's development in several ways. Some of the types of private schools out there include:
- Sports Schools
- Magnet Schools
- Boarding Schools
- Language Immersion Schools
- Waldorf Schools
- Religious Schools
- Montessori Schools
Our personal favourite, Montessori schools, use scientifically proven methods, materials, and lesson plans to not only advance your child's educational growth but their growth in key life skills, as well.
3. Individual Attention
One of the most uncomfortable things for a parent to feel for their child is that they are just another number in the system. At a public school, the unfortunate reality is that it is all your child is. At most private schools, especially ones designed for enhanced humanistic development such as Montessori schools, your son or daughter will receive the attention and care that they need so they can reach their full potential.
4. More Opportunities
Whether it be special field trips, semesters abroad, outside speakers, or unique classes, there are simply many more opportunities for your child at a private school. Since private schools want to showcase their benefits to the parents, one of the most significant ways they do this is through the opportunities available that are not available at public schools.
Another less visible opportunity is the credentials that come with a private school regarding post-secondary education enrollment opportunities. High-quality private schools are often looked at more favourably by recruiters and admission officers than standard public schools, meaning that your child will have a slight edge over the competition.
5. Best Of The Best Teachers
The higher salary and enhanced benefits that come with a private school are quite tantalizing for all teachers. Because of this, many private schools, including Grey Matter Montessori, employ some of the best teachers around. At a private school, you won’t be faced with the role of the dice type of odds for if you get a good or awful teacher, you can feel at ease knowing that the teacher in charge of your kid is an expert in their field and at getting the most out of each student.
6. On The Leading Edge
Due to the more excellent resources most private schools have at their disposal, more time and capital can be delegated to getting the best equipment and learning the best methods. You will never see a quality private school fall into disrepair or lag behind other schools. No matter what the newest technology, most advanced technique, or other development, Grey Matter Montessori will be on the cutting edge of it all.
