What is important is that the school provides a framework of values upon which your child can develop character and a wholesome orientation to life. Independent school teachers are committed Independent 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 degrees they possess.
Performance is the key.
Independent schools are accountable Independent schools are directly accountable to the families they serve. Performance - that's what builds and maintains an independent school's reputation in the community. Simple administrative structures allow independent schools to react quickly. Independent schools also respond to your needs as a parent, supplying services to make your life a little less complicated. When you choose an independent school, look for the services that are appropriate for your family and your circumstances.
