The important thing about a school is not that it gets listed in certain “elite”(精英的) publications, but how that school can cater to your children’s needs and how your children can be successful during their academic life. We have seen families that have pushed their children into school situations that were too academic when their children needed more nurture(培育). We have watched these children struggle when they did not have to.
New York City has some of the best and most diverse schools in the world, which can cater to different learning styles and needs, It is important to look at your family and its values when thinking about a school that is the right fit — particularly when your child is young and has not shown the type of learner that they will be. Each school has values of their own. A good fit is one that matches. For example, things like diversity, the arts and teaching ethics are all elements of an education. You need to ask yourself: What type of learner is my child? What kind of environment will make them feel most comfortable, challenge them, and let them be successful?
