Your starting point
Start with the learner, then consider the school and the home. Ask institutions directly about availability, admission, language and support.
A school visit should test how the institution fits the learner and the household's routine. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.
Work through the decision
Prepare questions
Ask about teaching, support, communication, meals, extracurricular activities and expectations of families.
Test logistics
Try the journey at the relevant time and check arrival, collection and holiday arrangements.
Compare consistently
Record the same criteria for every school and distinguish promises from confirmed provision.
Adapt this to your circumstances
Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.
