More than two months of home isolation and quarantine is definitely enough for all of us to contemplate the future of schooling. As much as everyone loves taking extended weeks of vacation under normal circumstances, the unpleasant atmosphere brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic is definitely an eye-opener on the necessary flexibility of the educational system.
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has clearly shifted our normal way of living. Education is obviously a big part of that and having the schools closed means class schedules are disrupted. Nonetheless, school closure does not entail the end of learning.
Finding the right school for your children can be overwhelming. You can choose from a roster of equally competitive schools and end up more confused. Fortunately, schools are keen on helping you make a sound and wise decision. If you are aiming to enroll in a private school, one of the first events that you would probably encounter is an Open House.

About 75% of the population is either under complete lockdown or national quarantine due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The abrupt yet necessary decision of the government to implement school closure has inflicted a critical impact on global education.
From the Desk of Headmaster Jack Delman:
Choosing the right school for your child is more than just comparing school ratings. It should propose the question: What life skills will my child take away upon graduation, and how much will it contribute to their college readiness?
It seems as though babies know how to use a smartphone before they even have a bite of solid food. Good parenting is already tough, and that was before we had to figure out how to raise children who are “growing up digital.” But before you start unplugging all your children’s devices, learn how a balanced life with technology can actually be beneficial for your child's development. Positive parenting with digital devices begins with the relationship with your child.
As you and your child settle into the new school year, it’s easy to get lost in the chaos of juggling busy schedules and enrolling in after-school activities. Whether it’s trying out for the basketball team or picking up a new instrument for classes at Bach to Rock, the start of a new school year is nothing short of eventful for the whole family. And as you make the transition out of lazy summer days, you’ll come to find that it not only affects commute schedules and bedtimes, but it also alters your grocery shopping lists.
Believe it or not, summer is coming to an end. While it may be sad to say goodbye to summer vacation, the next few weeks are the perfect opportunity to get your child (and yourself) prepared for the new school year. Starting a new school year can be filled with a variety of emotions: excitement, stress, hopefulness, nervousness, etc. By setting goals for the student in your family, you can keep bumps in the road to a minimum and create skills they can carry through the whole school year, not just the beginning.
