The journey to grade 1 is an important turning point in every child's life. Besides the joy and excitement, parents certainly cannot help but wonder when faced with countless choices between schools. elementaryHow can we provide our children with the best learning environment, fostering their passion for learning and developing comprehensively? This article will share 5 “golden” criteria to help parents make the wisest decision.
Dedicated teachers – The secret to building a solid foundation for your child
Entering the new world of Primary School, teachers are not only the ones who impart knowledge but also the dedicated “green seedling growers”, nurturing small dreams to sprout and grow. Therefore, in the journey of finding the ideal school, the most important thing that parents need to “choose the right place to entrust their gold” is a team of teachers with solid expertise, love for the profession, and love students with all their hearts.
Many generations of Duc Tri students have confided that, even after many years, even though they have gone through many different schools, they still cannot forget the image of teachers patiently guiding them on how to hold chopsticks and spoons, coaxing them to sleep at noon, and meticulously writing each stroke of the handwriting on the first days of entering school. All of those moments have become priceless memories, deeply engraved in their memories, and are the luggage that follows them throughout their lives.
Standard curriculum
The curriculum is like a “compass”, deciding the quality of education that children receive. Parents should spend time “lifting the curtain” to learn about the curriculum of each school they want to target, paying special attention to key factors such as the curriculum following the standards of the Ministry of Education to create a solid knowledge foundation, essential luggage for all students.
In addition, the advanced program is also a very noteworthy plus point. Some schools such as Duc Tri has cleverly “incubated” students’ talents and skills through focusing on developing personal and social capacity development programs and integration programs: including subjects such as Cambridge English, IC3 Informatics according to international standards, STEM, life skills… with advanced teaching methods, focusing on students, stimulating interest and initiative in the learning process, opening up new horizons through real-life experiences, realizing knowledge, applying it to life in a vivid and practical way.
Tuition fees are suitable for family economic conditions.
Tuition fees are a difficult problem, always the top concern of parents. Because studying is a journey that requires long-term investment and solid financial resources. Therefore, the problem of "quality and cost" is always a concern, causing many parents to weigh and measure between a school with a suitable tuition fee.
Therefore, it is extremely necessary to consider the tuition fee and the value your child receives and consult information from many sources, especially the opinions of parents whose children are studying at primary schools, when deciding to choose a school for their children.
Positive learning environment helps children develop comprehensively
A friendly, open and respectful learning environment will help children feel comfortable, confident and develop comprehensively. Parents should learn about the school culture, which promotes the spirit of respect, love and sharing; rich extracurricular activities to help children develop soft skills and discover their own potential; as well as close coordination between the school and family to provide the best companionship and support for children.
For example, at Duc Tri School, students are not only equipped with a solid foundation of knowledge in class but also regularly participate in “classes without walls”. This is where they can immerse themselves in nature, go beyond the limits of books to explore the world around them. They are also free to choose to join their favorite clubs such as swimming, soccer, basketball, chess, etc.
Especially at their age, they need teachers who are always ready to be a "strong shoulder", listen to all their thoughts and wishes (even the most difficult ones) as "trusted allies" to share and reveal the most accurate advice, helping them "overcome the storm" of both study and life.
Convenient geographical location
Convenient location for pick-up and drop-off are also factors to consider when choosing a primary school for your child. Some schools, such as Duc Tri School, have a home pick-up and drop-off service that will help parents save time and effort, ensuring safety and absolute peace of mind if parents are too busy.
Choosing a primary school for your child is an important decision. Hopefully the above 5 criteria will help parents have more useful information to make the most informed decision, creating a solid foundation for their child's future.
