How to choose the best institute for my son

Going from school to high school can be a pretty rough change for our children. We must think a little for them and try that the place where they will spend the next years, is the most complete and with the best references; The truth is that these years will be decisive for the future professional career of our children . Given this, we must take into account a series of points to know how to choose the best institute for your child .

one

The first decision we must address is whether we want our children to go to a public institute or a private institute . In countries such as Spain, education is mandatory, therefore, we will find a number of public secondary education institutes. Depending on the district in which we find ourselves, we will have one or the other. In addition, there is the option of private centers. Normally they are colleges that extend the courses after high school.

In a private institute we will have more attention from the teachers. The level, as a rule, is a little higher, something that can be very good if we want our children to finish with good results in the selectivity.

On the other hand, public institutes have people of all economic levels and teachers usually have more children to attend. Even so, a public institute is ideal to train our children, because the truth is that it will be the best way to integrate and interact with people from all social classes.

If we are in doubt among several institutes, it is best to approach their facilities . Observe what kind of children go, what kind of teachers give classes and talk to the director to show us the facilities of the center. In addition, it will be necessary to assess aspects such as the distance in which the institute is located with respect to our house to know if our son will be able to walk or will have to take public transport.

If we consider several options and we still do not have clear which is the ideal institute, it may be a good idea to ask for schedules in each one of them. So we can see how they distribute the subjects, how much time they have for recess, what extracurricular activities there are or what are the elective subjects of the center.

Finally, although it is important that we allow ourselves to be guided by the teachers of our son's previous school, there is another important opinion in the choice of the institute, that of our own son. Maybe he is clear about where his friends are going to be or has preferences for a particular institute. If so, we must let him speak and expose his preferences to make the final decision jointly .
