Why Parents’ Choice of Private Schools Has Changed Lives.

An important difference between private and public schools that helps parents decide where to educate their children is the availability of a well rounded education. The best private schools aim to create happy, healthy, rounded individuals, and are not merely exam factories. Private schools, like Mission Viejo’s Carden Academy, accomplish these goals through exposing students to multiple facets of education and adjusting their attitudes about education.

A typical private school exposes their students to classical education in Language Arts, Mathematics, History, Science, Computer skills, Spanish, Music, Art, Drama, as well as various intramural athletics programs. No spelling test is a “gimme” or “easy grade”. This not only fosters good study habits that they will keep with them after they graduate, but it also gives students an edge that they will have over their peers from other schools. This classical education, the mark of an accomplished individual throughout the history of Western civilization, has helped students go further in life.

A private school strives to develop each student’s attitude so they become exceptional individuals with not only the right skills, but the right mindset as well. Students are expected to pick one quality of their personality that they will work to improve upon every day. A student might work on improving their generosity for one day, and then work on improving their discipline the next day. One former student from the private school, Carden Academy, explained, “I credit not only my education, but my manners to Carden Academy.”

In private school the smarter you are, the more the school will do its best to stretch his or her intellect to its limits. For private school students, it’s cool to be smart. That's why you go to private school. In many public schools the kids who want to learn and who are smart are branded as nerds and become the objects of social ridicule. Many students to graduate from private schools speak with a great fondness of the friendships that they forged there, which often last a lifetime. The great education and closeness that is developed through adolescence often prepares children for life, and provides a wealth of happy memories.
