The National Association of Independent Schools generated a list of ten questions to ask yourself as you visit schools and look at their materials (printed or online).
10 Questions to Ask
The first question is so incredibly important. "What is the school's mission, and does its philosophy appeal to you?" All independent schools have mission statements and at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School our mission to pursue goodness as well as knowledge. It guides us each and everyday. As you learn more about schools ask yourself if their mission statement matches well with your child's needs and your hopes for a school.

Have a wonderful week!
