A huge playground, airy classrooms, innumerable activities in and out of the classrooms, no unhealthy competition… It might be quite impossible to find a school that I have in mind. So, like many other parents, I settled for a school that fulfilled some of the criteria There are thousands of parents in the city who have been forced to choose the best available option for their kids, that too after discussions and deliberations with other parents, friends and well-wishers.
These days parents are also looking at the big picture, where they take into account parameters such as infrastructure, faculty, teaching methodology, extra-curricular activities, inclusive education, and general discipline.

School should be about valuing a healthy way to live a life.

What makes for a great school? I totally agree with your sentiments. Moral values and kindness are central in our efforts to create a school environment that engages all students. These ideas you reference are what help make a school a caring place for students to learn.

I think this is sometimes hard to achieve because we end up being so focused on cognitive development and not as much on emotional development of students.

What goes into the recipe for a good school? I like that you mention that a good school should have the priority to help children reach their full potential. It can be hard finding the right school for your kids, but I think if you have the opportunity, you should consider different options.
