How does my child’s learning style affect my choice of schools?
Individuals learn in different ways. It is important to consider the way your child learns when choosing a school. As the parent, you know more than anyone about how your child learns. These questions will help you focus your knowledge about your child.

Does your child like to draw or doodle while listening to someone talk?

Does your child like to touch things and take them apart to see how they work?

Does your child like things very orderly and in a predictable routine?

Does your child like to think out loud or does your child like to think things through completely before talking?

Does your child need a quiet place to concentrate?

Does your child like many things going on at once or prefer to do one thing at a time?

Does your child prefer to work with others or work alone?

Does your child always need to know why or does your child accept things without many questions?

Does your child like to try doing new things without asking for help?

Can you give your child a general instruction or does your child prefer very detailed instructions?
