You're ready to start Before You Choose.
Use the workbook before and during Academy Night season to compare programs, think through the bigger high-school picture and identify the questions your family still needs answered.
Save the workbook somewhere easy to find, and print the comparison and worksheet pages if you want to take them with you to Academy Nights.
Don't just read it. Use it to make the decision.
Read it before Academy Night.
The workbook will help you identify questions about the program, school, schedule, transportation and four-year path before you're standing in a crowded presentation.
Take the questions with you.
Use the Academy Night questions and comparison sheets to capture the details that are easy to forget once you've visited several schools.
Notice what you still can't answer.
If the workbook leaves you wondering how the pieces fit together for your specific student, that's where individualized strategy can help.
