how to choose the next school

the year is almost over and in a few months time, raya will be, or should be, in a big school already. guess what, we still don't know where to enroll her. ok, panic mode on! since the start of this school year, i have been thinkinng about it. i asked my friends for recommendation. the thing is, there's really a gazillion choices. then there's also the choice whether or not we should enroll her in a progressive (a.k.a non-traditional) school or the old school (a.k.a. traditional). a friend also advised me that the choice of school should depend on the character of the kid. hmmm, come again?

so how nga should i chooose? anyway, like all parents, we want the best for our kids. we want them to go to the best school that will help them develop their characters and talents so that they could make it to the real world.

i think we are gearing towards the progressive school FIRST. in raya's 3rd grade or so, we might move her to a traditional school. top list of course is the school where i came from since me and my sisters and my friends turned out ok naman :) its a good school wherein faith in God and simplicity are one of the priorities. most of my batchmates got into the 4 great colleges such as UP, ateneo, la salle, and UST.

we dont have much problem choosing the mid school and college. the 'starter' school is hard. well, its really always hard during the firsts. :) perhaps we should first consider the good schools near us. gather info, check the sites, curriculum, motto, location then schedule for interview and test/assessment if there is.

need to do it soon. as in now!
