Orange County Private School Directory
Written by Denise Morrison Yearian
Here are a host of reasons why parents send their children to private schools. For some it is a smaller teacher-student ratio and more individualized attention. For others, it is the religious grounding their children receive. For still others, it is to better address their student’s needs and cater to his academic timetable—be it a late bloomer or one who is gifted in math or art. But since no two schools are alike, where do parents begin their search for the right academic setting?

“Before looking outward and searching for the appropriate private school, parents should look inward and identify their own needs. They should analyze their child’s particular obligations and their family’s values and preferences for the kind of community and learning environment for which they would like their child to be in. Before visiting campuses, parents should prepare themselves with their own personal checklist and criteria,” says Ron Reynolds, Executive Director of the California Association of Private School Organizations.
“Most families start by talking with someone they know,” says Connie Ernsberger, director of admission for a local private school. “It may be someone in the community or at work. What’s important is that you ask people whose opinions you trust.”
While investigating the options, avoid trying to find the “perfect school,” but rather look for a good fit—one that meets your child’s needs.
“When it comes to schools, there is no-one-size-fits-all,” says School Headmistress Maria Barber. “Every academic setting has a different flavor, and one is not necessarily better than another. It’s that one may be a better fit for your child than another.”
For this reason, look at your child’s needs, taking into account his strengths, weaknesses, interests and talents. Also consider what sort of learning environment he would be most comfortable in. A self-motivated learner, for example, may do well in a program where he gets to direct and carry out his own learning. But a child in need of constant direction might be more suited to a structured environment.
Next make a list of what you want in a school. Be specific about ambiance, class size, teaching style, curriculum, the role of art and music, homework and where parents fit in the running of the school.
“I suggest the list be prioritized,” says Ernsberger. “Some things may be non negotiable to parents, such as class size, a strong art program or religious affiliation. Other things would be nice but not necessarily mandatory.”
After the list has been made, call schools that are potential candidates and get more information. Consider each one’s program, mission, services, faculty and administration. What makes the school unique? What is its teaching philosophy? Is there a vision for the future? Is there anything the school does particularly well? What about the curriculum? Will it cater to your child’s talents and interests?
While cost and commuting distance are factors, experts agree these are hurdles that can be overcome.
“It’s okay for parents to look at a school even if they don’t think they can afford it,” says Ernsberger. “Most have financial aid based on need, so it’s no big deal to ask about it.”
As for commute, Barber suggests a ride as far as 30 minutes may be worth it if the school has an environment where your child will be happy and thrive. “Parents may be able to find someone to carpool with,” she says. “Or they can use that distance to let their child study or spend quality time together.”
Next arrange to visit those schools which meet your initial criteria. This will give you a feel for the school’s educational and developmental philosophy. Note, however, that even schools which adhere to like-minded philosophies can be tremendously different.
“A school that seemed to be the perfect fit on paper or over the phone may prove otherwise once parents have visited,” says Ernsberger. “And the school they weren’t initially drawn to may be the ‘one.’ That’s why it’s important that you go. Test it. Feel it. See what it is like.”
While visiting, spend a few minutes talking with the principal or school administrator. Discuss your child’s needs and ask if the school can meet those needs.
If possible, sit in on classes and observe the teachers and students. Record obvious facts such as school and class size, ambiance as a whole and within individual classrooms, absence or presence of a dress code and general demeanor of the students and teachers. Also record the students’ reactions. Did they feel comfortable and relaxed, or anxious and uptight?
Ask for names of several parents whose children attend the school and would be willing to talk with you. Find out what they do and don’t like about the school. If you can, obtain a few names of parents who were not happy with the school and enrolled their children elsewhere. All schools have success stories, but no school works for every child. So find out about a child who did not thrive at the school so you can get a balanced perspective.
Once your have visited several schools and narrowed your selection, return with your child. Have him meet the teacher, and if possible, spend time in the classroom with the other students. What was his reaction? Did he seem comfortable with the school? The teacher? Other students?
Finally, and most importantly, follow your intuition. You know your child better than anyone else. If you have done your homework, you’ll know if it’s the right school for your child.
“Sometimes it’s not necessarily a specific program or academic feature that lets parents know it’s a good match,” says Ernsberger. “It’s that intangible feeling—that visceral reaction. They know this is a place where their child can grow and academically succeed.” —With additional reporting by Amy Leadbetter
Private School Evaluation Checklist
To-Do List
- DO be realistic. There is no perfect school or one-size-fits-all academic setting. Look for one that is the best fit for your child.
- DO make a list of what you want in a school. Be specific and prioritize your list.
- DO consider your child’s needs. Choose one that will foster his strengths, weaknesses, interests and talents.
- DO consider your child’s learning style. Is he self-motivated or does he need a structured environment? Is he an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner?
- DO choose a school that matches your family’s values.
- DO make a list of schools in your area that are potential candidates. Call and ask that information be sent. Then make an appointment to further investigate those schools that meet your criteria.
- DO consider a school, even if it is out of your price range. Many schools offer financial aid or scholarships, so don’t be afraid to ask.
- DO consider commute. A drive as far as 30 minutes is okay if everything else matches up. Look for someone to carpool with or use the drive to study or spend quality time together.
- DO visit the school. You will get a better idea if this is the right environment for your child once you step onto the campus.
- DO talk with the principal or school administrator. Ask specific questions and be realistic and honest in telling him or her about your child’s strengths and weaknesses.
- DO sit in on the classes and observe how the students and teachers interact.
- DO meet the teacher who would be teaching your child. Consider how your child will interact with him or her.
- DO keep a written record of what you observe particularly if you are visiting more than one school.
- DO look for a school where the teachers work to build a relationship with the students and their families. This is one of the biggest factors in a child’s academic success.
- DO talk with other parents whose children currently attend the school to find out what they do and don’t like about the school.
- DO take your child to visit the school once a decision has been made. If possible, let him meet the teacher and other students and sit in on the class. Then ask him for his feedback.
- DO follow your instinct. You know your child and family situation better than anyone else. —D.Y.
Questions To Ask
- What is the school’s philosophy on teaching reading?
- What kinds of books are the children expected to read? Who chooses them?
- How and when is writing and composition taught? Is there time for creative writing?
- Is the curriculum established or does it emerge from the students’ interests?
- How often do the children use textbooks? Workbooks? Worksheets?
- When do children start getting homework? How much at what grades?
- How are the children assessed?
- When does computer education start? How much exposure per week do they get?
- What extracurricular activities are offered? Is it open to all children?
- How much time is spent on art, music and crafts?
- Are there many opportunities for cooperative learning?
- How is discipline for improper behavior carried out?
