First make a list of the schools that you like. Go on the schools websites and make sure they meet all of your requirements before attempt to make their requirements.

As a parent it is important that you go through the websites first to make sure the school meets your criteria first. that way if you find a school doesn’t match up for your child will be none the wiser.

Make arrangements to visit the schools you like the most first. Call the admissions office and plan a scheduled tour. Make sure you are adequately prepared for your visits. dress appropriately, ask questions and be polite even if you decide midway through that the school isn’t the right fit. Make sure your child is adequately prepared for the admissions test. even the smartest children can get nervous and fail a test. Have a tutor experienced in the field prepare them with studying and sample test. It is important not place an increased amount of pressure on the test, just let your child know that you want them to do the best they can and relax.

Make sure that you turn all of your applications, forms and documents in on time. These schools will have deadlines for applications and they will not make an acceptation for late or incomplete applications. It is best to submit them a week or two early if possible, remember spaces are limited and they are getting dozens of applicants.
