What to look for in a school

1. Discipline is one of the primary or may be the most essential parameters in selecting a school for your child. A child needs to understand the value of discipline at a very early age and the school can develop this discipline early on in an individual's life. So do check out what's the level of discipline inside the school by making a couple of visits to the school.

2. Great leadership at school matters a lot.. Schools which has a great disciplinarian at the helm have been seen to produce extraordinary results.

3. High Expectations from Students. This is a definite sign of a good school - a school which wants to do well for itself has high expectations from their students. There is a culture of Expectation and Growth. This helps motivate the students to perform at their best and achieve great results for them as well as for their schools.

4. How much engaged the students are? The more the school keeps the student engaged in different aspects of learning - academic as well as non-academic the more the students get to learn. So the school need to have a good engagement plan for the students. Engaged students tend to learn more as they happen to utilize every minute of the time they have in hand.

5. Look for a school which has an active and positively contributing PTA (Parents Teacher Association) - A school that encourages parent participation in their kids schooling. Parents who actively involve themselves and participate in the schools activities help the school achieve great results. They become a single most important source of feedback to the schools on their teaching and also on the students - and this helps the schools in keeping themselves accountable for achieving strong results.

6. Schools which have a rigorous curriculum lets students challenge themselves and bring out the best in them which lays equal importance on academics as well as non-academics and helps in all-round development of a child.
