There are many reasons that parents choose private schooling for their child’s education. This type of education can provide advantages a public education can’t. Let’s take a look at three reasons private education delivers amazing results.
Class Sizes Are Small
Public schools are overwhelmed with students while private ones aren’t. On average, a public school can have more than 2,000 students with class sizes can be on average of about 30 students per class with one teacher. Due to how many students there are, your child won’t be able to get the individualized attention they need to thrive academically. According to the U.S. Department of Education, about 87% of private school institutions have less than 300 students, which means the average classroom size is about 50% of public school classroom sizes. Your child will get the one-on-one attention they need to succeed in a private school setting.
Highly Qualified Educators
Private schools have a much more stringent approach to who can teach in their schools. The teacher shortage in public schools is a very real problem and many of those schools have lateral entry programs where anyone with a degree in any subject can teach with their teaching credentials. A recent study found that about 79% of teachers in a private school setting were not only highly qualified to teach the subject but they held a master’s degree in the subject they were teaching. When you enroll them in a private institution, your children will be taught by highly qualified teachers.
A Strong Sense of Community
On private school campuses, there is a very strong sense of community since the size of classes is small. The school and the parents work hand in hand to ensure each child is getting what they need from their education. Typically, parents are more involved in these schools because of the smaller community.
Teachers get to know their classroom kid’s families and work with the parents to help their children succeed. There are a lot of reasons why you should be considering a private education for your child, including ensuring they’re in an environment they love to be in.
