Private school teachers are committed Private schools attract teachers with initiative, those who thrive in an environment where they can make a difference - where their input on curriculum is important, where the time they spend with each student is valued. They are usually highly committed to the school's vision. Teachers are often liberal arts graduates, as well as graduates of schools of education. Teachers are selected for their knowledge of a subject and their ability to teach it, rather than for the kind of degree they possess. Performance is the key.
Private schools are accountable Private schools are directly accountable to the families they serve.
Performance - that's what builds and maintains a private school's reputation in the community. Simple administrative structures allow private schools to react quickly. Private schools also respond to your needs as a parent, supplying service to make your life a little less complicated. When you choose a private school, look for the services that are appropriate for your family and your circumstances. These services may be in the form of after-school enrichment programs, bus transportation to outlying areas, summer programs, or nutritious meals, to name a few.
