School Admission Tips for Busy Parents

by Sachin Kumar Education

 

Busy parents who have to manage their full-time work along with finding the best preschool in Noida for their wards have it hectic at a different level. Obviously, you cannot put in as much time in research and analysis as any other parent who has taken time off work. Neither do you want to compromise on the quality of education of your child. The balance naturally becomes stressful, optimising seems like a distant dream and the fear of making the wrong choice looms hard. However, strategy is the key for busy parents. You can still come to the same conclusions while managing your work by laying out a tactical plan. Here are a few tips to do the same – working admission suggestions especially for busy parents.

  1. Narrow down your options and search

Assuming that you will have a time crunch, to begin with, you must narrow your field of search. Identify your preferences and make a list of the top few schools in your locality specifically in those categories. For instance, modern institutions follow either the ICSE, CBSE or IB curriculum. You can choose to stick to CBSE only without bothering about the other two. Then, list only the top six or seven CBSE schools in Noida and your search is ready to go to the next step.

  1. Check the student to teacher ratio

Now, you can safely assume that the top schools in Noida Extension will have similar infrastructures. So, instead of delving into every facility with a fine-toothed comb, you can look at the student to teacher ratio to gain an insight into the existent educational quality. The optimal ratio is that there is 1 teacher available for every 20-25 students. The figure can go up to 30 students in places. But if the ratio is 45 or 50, it is wise to pass over and look at another institution.

  1. Proper transportation is necessary

You will need to pick a school with adequate transportation. And that cannot be determined by the number of buses that the school has. Look into the route, check for live tracking facilities and inquire with the school about the security measures it has in place. As a busy parent, you will want to delegate transportation responsibility to the school. But you will also want to delegate it into safe hands. Understandably, this is a crucial factor to look into while picking a school for your child.

  1. Read the brochure and prepare accordingly

Collect/download the school brochures and spend some time behind each. This investment will ensure that you do not end up spending time behind preparations that are unnecessary for your selected schools. The top schools do not look for children who know everything under the sun. They merely check the student’s potential and the guidance the parents can provide. Look into the mission, vision, educational philosophy and non-academic activities. Prepare yourselves on these baselines.

  1. Take assistance from the schools

The top international schools in Noida will be always available to provide the utmost assistance to their new parents. If something is confusing or you do not have the time to find out the proper steps, get in touch with the school and seek help. Find out if you can send the application form over mail. Ask about the steps to make the payments online or any other fast route. Mention your roadblocks owing to the busy schedules and take suggestions from the school to move the admission forward.

  1. Plan your days leading to the admission

Sit down with your spouse and plan your days ahead. Divide the admission tasks between yourselves so that each parent has a specific task before the admissions. On the D-day, both of you might have to remain available. Before that, you can alternate on teaching your child the required lessons or fill out the application form. You may also decide who gets to collect the application form and the other goes for school visits. By strategically dividing the work, your child can end up in a top school despite you being busy.

The admission of the GD Goenka school has been designed keeping in mind the needs of parents of all spheres. For busy parents, all the required information is available on the school’s website. Assistance is also available at every step to make the process fast and efficient. Along the way, you can also benefit from a school that takes the dynamics of busy parents into account as that will ease your daily life and communication will happen in a manner that you are comfortable with. So, pick a school that can fit into your schedule. Be strategic and take the right decision.
