When the ‘Best’ School Isn’t the Best
Description
You’ve toured schools, flipped through glossy brochures, and listened to everyone tell you which school is “the best.” And yet… you still feel uncertain. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Choosing the right school for your child can feel overwhelming, especially when every option promises to be perfect.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the myths that often keep parents stuck during the school selection process. Using real stories from families I’ve worked with, I’ll help you see past flashy marketing, buzzwords, and reputations so you can focus on what truly matters: finding a school that aligns with your child’s needs and your family’s values.
You’ll learn:
- Why the “best” school on paper may not be the best fit for your child.
- How to look beyond educational labels like Montessori, IB, or project-based learning to understand what’s happening day-to-day in the classroom.
- The key things to notice during a school tour that reveal a school’s culture and philosophy in action.
- How to stay focused on what really matters to your family — so you don’t get lost in the overwhelm of countless options.
If you’re in the middle of school tours or starting to explore different educational paths for next year, this episode is a must-listen. I’ll give you the tools and perspective to approach school selection with clarity and confidence — without feeling like you have to tour every school in your city.
