school that fits every single one of these and that is ok! It is important to start with an open mind and understand that this is a process that may require some sacrifice. DO THE RESEARCH As you begin the selection process, it is important to consider the location. Prospective schools should be accessible to you and your family or within a reasonable distance from your work or home. The research is not exciting, but it will be worthwhile. Take time to navigate through the school's website. Familiarize yourself with their teaching method and their approach to learning. Each school has a unique mission and vision, don’t skip over these. You may find that schools move up or down on your list, that is ok! DO THE LEGWORK Open House events are structured as mini-sessions where schools showcase their programs through academic exhibitions, fine arts and activities fairs, and faculty/student meet-and-greets. Take advantage of these opportunities. Contact the schools you are interested in and register for open houses early. If possible, schedule your tour during regular hours and visit a few classes. These visits will allow you to observe the school’s culture, faculty and staff, student engagement, and family involvement. INVEST It is important to remember that you are not spending money on private education. You are investing your money in private education and most importantly, your child. Being good stewards involves planning wisely for the cost of private education. Part of that plan is to look for ways to maximize your budget through financial aid, grants, scholarships, and discounts (such as for households with siblings or alumni). It is important when relying on financial aid or scholarships to note the requirements and deadlines. Don’t shy away from reaching out to a school to discuss financing options. Many schools offer discounts for payments received in full but are also accommodating to payment plans. APPLY EARLY Once you’ve narrowed your search and you’ve selected a few schools that you think will be best for your child, start the application process. Applying may not be as simple as submitting a form online, so start early. Give yourself enough time to gather required documents such as transcripts and letters of recommendations. Make sure you note testing dates for entrance exams as well. Does the school adhere to a strict application deadline? Or do they have a rolling admissions window? Does the school have space? Is there a waitlist? Do they accept post-deadline applications? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Once a school has made their decision, they will notify you and provide you with the next steps of enrollment. Pay attention to fast-approaching deadlines! At this point, you may also want to extend a courtesy note and notify the schools that your child will not be attending. This is an exciting time for your family to celebrate the process and stay involved. Take the family to a Friday night football game or check out the theatre club's latest production. South Florida’s private schools thrive on community involvement. They may be rivals on the field, but in the community, they are partners with a shared mission who maintain deep mutual respect. By getting involved early, you are not only supporting local programs but giving your child a chance to get excited about their future. <strong>2019</strong> / PRIVATE SCHOOLS GUIDE l 7
