We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Education is an essential part of our lives. We are nothing without knowledge, and education is what separates us from others. The main step to acquiring education is enrolling oneself in a school. School serves as the first learning place for most of the people. Similarly, it is the first spark in receiving an education. In this essay on my school, I will tell you why I love my school and what my school has taught me.

It has been a great school. I have been attending this school since pre k so i have witnessed great achievements and some failures throughout the years of coming here. I have built bonds and relationships with students and staff here and I have to say there is no other school like it.
