Public education comes with some drawbacks, but choosing a private school has its own challenges. Since private schools aren’t operated as public institutions, there’s a lot of variety in curriculum, environment, and quality of education. How do you go about choosing a private school that will give your child the best educational experience and the best preparation for the future?
Academics
The first thing many parents consider when choosing a private school is the quality of academic courses. Whether or not your child is interested in higher education after graduation, you want to make sure your children are being taught core subjects in a way that is understandable and approachable, giving them a good foundation for real-life experiences.
Here at Shining Light Academy, we believe academics shouldn’t be compromised in a Christian educational environment. With this in mind, you will find that our courses meet or exceed state educational requirements, and many of our students are not only prepared for college admissions but have been awarded scholarships.
Extracurricular Activities
Of course, there’s more to private school than just academics. Socialization, exercise, and exploring creativity are all also pivotal parts of the educational experience. So in addition to our academic courses, we offer seven sports, art, drama, and music. It’s not all fun and games—if your student is interested in pursuing athletics from a private school environment, you’ll find our multiple state championship wins prove our private school is a good place to start.
The Future
We know your children are precious to you, and you want to give them the best start in life you can. Private school can give them that head start, with rigorous academics, extracurricular opportunities, and a wholesome, faith-grounded environment to grow up in. Choosing a private school can feel challenging, but once you find the right one, it should feel like home.
