According to a study conducted in 1998 for the National Council of Independent Schools' Associations (NCISA) by Irving Saulwick and Associates, parents who send their children to an independent school expect a lot from the school. They expect it to:
- Nurture their child with care;
- Allow their child to develop as a well-rounded human being;
- Imbue their child with, an reinforce, the values and culture of the home;
- Instil in their child self-discipline and respect for others;
- Teach their child how to learn, and
- Give their child enough skills and knowledge to allow them to build a future economically and socially.

We expect a lot from public schools, but they just not deliver!

I don't understand, we pay them enough! Surely they should meet our expectations? Especially when it comes to special needs or academic excellence or even bullying - the school should be right on top of this.

Added to that, private schools known for the high standards they set.
They focus on the essentials – which provide purpose and meaning of life.

Hi,
Its worth it. A private school children from 20 meters to go when the race begins.
They are more articulate, more confident and to lose their inferiority and uncertainty.
