1. Small class sizes
Most private-school classes average 15 students, whereas in public school this average can be doubled.
2. Individual attention
With such small classes, no student gets lost in the shuffle.
3. Highly qualified teachers
Doctors, educators with advanced degrees, artists, and others who
rank highly in their fields teach at private schools.
4. State-of-the-art facilities
Media centers, athletic facilities, and labs have the latest equipment.
5. A focus on a student’s personal development
A private school focuses on a student’s entire well-being, not just his/her academic achievement.
6. Parental involvement
Private schools expect parents to take an active role in their children’s education, creating greater accountability (and thereby achievement) for both school
and student.
