In May and June of 2014 a survey conducted by the Secondary School Admission Test Board (SSATB) shed some significant light upon the parent’s perspective on enrolling in Christian schools. Is your school measuring up to the need?
- Provide an education that will
challenge the child (97%) - Help child develop/maintain a love of
learning (96%) - Small class size/individual attention
(84%) - Help child develop a strong moral
character (82%) - Help child’s emotional and social
development (77%) - Help child secure superior college
placement (74%)
According to the Council for American Private Education:
“The journey toward a private school involves several phases and a lot of thought. According to the report, “Almost all parents (94%) visited at least one private school as they considered to which schools they would apply, with most visiting between one and three schools in total (57%), for an average of 2.3 school visits per family.” The visit “appears to be a linchpin” in the school selection process. Accordingly, “Admission offices must show parents that personalized care for their child’s academic success is first and foremost. The campus visit should be the ultimate experience—an exciting and warm introduction to all that you are and all that you can provide to that particular child.””
