individualized attention to students, and the ability to teach and spend time on complex subject areas. While it does not indicate better learning, a low staff to student ratio may be beneficial for a student who needs extra attention; however, it may not matter as much to a more independent student. Consider not only the student to teacher ratio, but also the ratio of students to counselors, librarians, etc. TEACHING MODEL Home School: Home schooling is the education of students typically by parents but sometimes by tutors, outside of the traditional public or private school. There are two methods to which a child can be home schooled. The first method is categorized as a home study program where parents must apply to the Board of Education and present information on the course content. Progress is measured by the state through evaluations of copies of student’s work and letters from outside sources (certified teacher or another “qualified” person) stating the student’s progress and standardized testing scores. The second method requires much less state intervention and reporting on the part of the parents. This method involves sending a letter to the Board of Education stating that you are running your homeschool as a private school, not seeking accreditation. The Board of Education requires that you report the number of students and the number days of operation. The biggest difference between the two methods occurs for high school students. To qualify for TOPS (state supplemented scholarships to universities), a student must be a graduate of an accredited high school. The private home school option does not allow students to qualify for TOPS, but the home study program does. The switch from non-accredited private school (home-school) and home study program for the purpose of qualifying for TOPS must be made by the beginning of 10th grade. STAFF TO STUDENT RATIO Staff-student ratio refers to the number of staff in a school with respect to the number of students who attend the school. For example, a teacher-student ratio of 1:10 indicates that there is one teacher for every 10 students. There is a belief that a low staff to student ratio can result in more effective classroom management, more Not all schools follow the same methods when it comes to teaching. Schools that follow college preparatory curriculum even differ in degrees of rigor or in the methods in which they present information to students. Some schools encourage active participation or group work while others use a more lecture-based approach. Ask each school you consider about their specific teaching model and think about how your child will fit into this system.
