When choosing a school for your child, it is easy to become overwhelmed with choices, especially with the sheer amount of SPK schools in the country. Which SPK school would fit your child the best, and what factors should you consider before making a choice?

Naturally, you will want your child to have the best education possible that prepares them for university and beyond, while at the same time ensuring a transition that is as seamless as possible. 

Education-wise, not only would you want a school that offers the best internationally-recognised curriculums like International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), but you should also consider your child’s previous education and where they would like to study at the university level. 

Moving to a new school is never easy, especially if it is in a new country. New school means a new environment, new teachers, and new friends. A similar education system to the one your child had in their previous school would make the transition easier because they are already familiar with the material. 

Similarly, choosing an SPK school based on the school’s culture is also important. The social aspect of your child’s transition into a new school is another major factor. A commonality in culture would increase the chances of your child finding the experience more enjoyable, as it would be easier to form friendships with students and teachers alike. 

Looking ahead, you should choose an SPK school based on where and what your child would study at the university level. Some schools are more known for their high university acceptance rates amongst its alumni than others, or they provide better opportunities for students depending on where they want to go to for university.
