What to expect
A philosophy label alone does not show how an individual school works day to day.
A good place to start
Arrange a visit and ask about teaching, support needs, assessment and communication with families. Verify local recognition, admissions and fees where applicable.
What to compare
- Recognition and admissions
- Teaching and support
- Family communication
Picture your first month
Ask what you will practise, how feedback works and what materials you need. A taster can help you assess the teaching style. If you need a recognised qualification, check its status with the responsible institution before committing.
