Private Schools

Many parents do not fully understand why they might pay for a high-quality private senior school. Alongside creativity and a broad outlook, which develop particularly strongly during these years, a solid grounding in science is essential. It cannot simply be acquired at the snap of a finger later on. Foundation programmes and university study will build on that knowledge. Gaps may remain unnoticed for a long time, and private tutoring alone may not easily overcome them.

I would strongly recommend considering a high-quality school for the final three years of secondary education if your family has the opportunity. A good private school is often expensive, so judge it by its teaching, student support and suitability for your child’s goals, rather than by price alone. The importance of a strong foundation should not be underestimated.
