Eduprofile
We have created a survey that will help us determine your child’s educational profile as well as your family’s educational goals and practical concerns. More specifically, the survey asks questions about your child’s basic learning capacity, skill development, learning styles, motivation to learn, social temperament and disabilities. In addition, the questionnaire asks parents about the importance of various school characteristics (e.g., educational approach, teaching methods, classroom behavior management approach, school community) as well as any practical considerations that are important, including the school’s type, location, schedule, transportation, and cost. Once we have reviewed the survey results, we will send you information about your child’s educational profile as well as a list of schools that we think will meet your child’s and family’s needs.
