One mother describes sending her child to a private school here as one of the best decisions she ever made:

There are so many benefits to choosing a Thornhill private school when making the final decision about your children's education. Consider the following reasons parents cite when explaining why they chose private school or preschool:

• Private schools allow parental participation in their children's education. Parents are often closely involved in the school community.
• Many private schools focus on the issue of class size, remaining vigilant about maintaining class order and attending as closely as needed to the individual needs of students. Discipline and homework are a top priority and an aspect that directly affects your child and his or her environment.
• Private schools often encourage creativity in unique ways that are simply unavailable without a specialized focus - such as you will find at some private schools in Thornhill, for example.
• Private schools offer a wealth of alternatives, so parents can find the school espousing the particular religious or educational perspective they wish for their children. For instance, there are faith-based schools, such as Christian and Catholic schools. There are also alternative schools, such as Montessori (in Richmond Hill and nearby Vaughan, Ontario), Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia schools (including preschools)

Prior to selecting a private school for your son or daughter, think about some or all of the following questions:

• How affordable is tuition? Are there any extra costs (i.e. fieldtrips, textbooks, transportation)?
• Does the school offer scholarships or financial aid? Would you be eligible for either of these grants?
• Is its location accessible to you?
• What is the school's general approach to education? Do you agree with this outlook?
• Does the school have extracurricular activities that fit with the interests of your child?
