Quick answer for parents
Ask about ordinary days, not only highlight moments. The most useful tour questions reveal support capacity, parent communication, fees, and what happens when a child struggles.
Use the tour to test fit
Tours are often designed to show the school at its best. Parents still need to understand ordinary routines, support boundaries, and how the school communicates when things are not going smoothly.
Questions worth asking
What does a typical day look like for this grade?
How do teachers communicate concerns to parents?
What support is available before a child falls behind?
Which fees are not included in tuition?
What kind of child tends to thrive here?
A good tour answer is specific. Listen for examples, not only promises.
