While costs vary widely from school to school, the benefits received are just as important when considering a particular institution. Students at independent schools benefit from small classes, enhanced student-faculty relationships, college counseling opportunities and the shared success of their fellow graduates.
In a recent public opinion survey administered by the National Association of Independent Schools, several key features stood out in the public's opinion as defining a quality school. On the majority of the issues identified as most essential to a good school, independent schools are seen as well ahead of their public school counterparts. Quality schools:
- Employ high quality teachers.
- Prevent drug and alcohol abuse.
- Keep students motivated and enthusiastic about learning.
- Challenge students to do their best.
- Encourage parents to participate in their child's education.
- Maintain discipline.
- Attend the needs of children with learning disabilities.
- Support a climate that says it's all right to study and excel.
- Prepare students academically for college.
- Provide adequate tools for learning (like up-to-date computers).
