The right choice

Ten and Thirteen, the time of choices

The family is called to give an answer about the future of their children, starting from the school they will have to attend. It is in the most important game, the choice of high school, that we spend all the time possible just to not make a mistake. Because the real problem always remains the same: how to be sure of the choice. The fact is that we are never one hundred percent sure. Follow the interests of the boy/girl, his/her aptitudes, the advice of the teachers, the market projections, the job opportunities, the friend or the proximity of the school? - First of all, we must listen to the dreams of the boys, their passions, their projects. - Secondly, we must listen to the advice of the teachers. - Finally, we must forget the desires of others and pursue our own. After all, if we look closely, a child always lets us glimpse his/her passions and interests.

Our Open days, with the addition of the "Learning week", or the possibility of attending normal lessons alongside older students, allow future ISP students to become aware of the environment, the spirit that hovers at school that will allow them to unleash their potential. Unleash your potential therefore means getting involved, studying and working in a team that has a common goal: educating the adults of the future to become free thinkers and citizens of the world.

So how do you choose a school?

Parents should ask for (and therefore choose for their child) a school that knows how to recognize and certify skills and abilities; that knows how to respect "vocations", that knows how to educate to generosity and not only to individual success; that knows how to guarantee serenity in school time; that knows how to recognize and appreciate talents, favoring fundamental knowledge, without doing too much or too little; that knows how to transmit passion, through curiosity and study. And all this, you have to ask the teachers. Otherwise, what's the point of open school?
