For some families, attending an independent school has always been part of their educational planning. For others, investigating unexpected educational pathways represents a new and exciting (and possibly overwhelming) undertaking. As you begin the school search process, it’s important for families to know that there are no questions too big or too small. In fact, it’s best not to leave any questions unanswered to make sure that your chosen school provides everything you’re looking for.

Regardless of your previous experience with private day and boarding schools, taking an in-person or virtual tour is a great way to learn more about a school and provides an important opportunity to make sure that all of your questions are answered. For example, does the school provide the academic, artistic and athletic opportunities that are important to your family? Can students pursue enrichment activities and, just as importantly, access teachers during non-teaching times to seek further clarification on a recently introduced concept?

To help you prepare for your in-person or virtual campus experience, Lakefield College School has provided this helpful guide with some key questions that you may consider asking before, during and after your school visit.
