Do you need help to ensure that you find the right school in Florida?
Whether you’re moving here from out of state or just looking for a change of school for your child, JRA can help! All fifty states, including Florida, have their own School Choice program; more choices make it more confusing for parents. In the past, it was certainly easier to select a school when most students attended a neighborhood public or nearby private school. Today, Florida’s school choice options, in particular, can be overwhelming for parents: scattered throughout the state are public, private (both secular and religiously affiliated), online, charter, magnet, special-needs, and theme-based schools. Here’s why we can help you:
- We have firsthand knowledge of all the elementary, middle, and high schools throughout South Florida – Miami to Orlando, Atlantic coast to Gulf coast
- We’ve been guiding families for years toward the best choice for their children
- We learn about what’s important to your family: your child’s personality, learning style, academic strengths, social and extracurricular needs
When you engage our services to identify the best public or private school for your child, you’re building a long-term relationship with us as your trusted source of school information, just as you would build a lasting relationship with your healthcare providers. Our knowledge of schools goes beyond their reputation alone. We have in-depth knowledge of these features that define a school:
- Curriculum and academic strengths
- Extracurricular activities
- Student support, including specialized programs
- Student body composition & size
- Neighborhoods, including transportation, daycare
- Bilingual education, and more
We continually visit schools to meet with their administrators, counselors, teachers, and students; observe classroom interactions; track their achievement-related data; and remain wired into parent networks.
Don’t be overwhelmed by myriad choices – let us help you find and apply to the right school for your child! We’ll make all the school connections for you, share our school knowledge, help you prioritize your needs, assist you in planning school visits and student-shadow days, guide you and your child through the application and interview process, provide references to families in those school communities, and collaborate when it’s time to make a final choice.
