What do I want

So, it seems that when deciding on a potential school you really need to have some questions organised, or at least know exactly what it is you are looking for in a school.

What am I looking for? Well, everything I guess! My main purpose is to find somewhere that I think the girls will be happy, where bullying is not part of the culture, and anti-bullying programs are embraced. A school where all students are considered, wherever they fall in the academic spectrum, to be valuable students and just as worthy of the teachers time. A school that is accepting of students from all walks of life. A school that is progressive enough to look at new options when the old ways are not taking them where they want to go. But most of all I want a school that will encourage my girls to believe they can do whatever they want. One that will never crush the spirit they may have to do something. A school that says Yes! rather than no. A school that provides them opportunities to do a variety of things, to learn many cultures and be the best they can be.

What about academic performance? Nope, not at the top of my list. Yes, I will check the myschools website to see how they each performed, but it wont be the deciding factor.

Fees? Unfortunately this will be something that limits us, however in my quest to find what I am looking for I am being open to looking at all the options and reviewing what you actually get in comparison.
