There are a great deal of options when it comes to private schools for your son. If he needs discipline and help in his scholastics then a private boarding school may be the answer. If he needs help with self-motivation and taking instruction then a military school is probably the best bet.
90% of students in the United States attend a public school. These institutions have varying results. There are many factors that go into how your teenager does at a public school. Private school is a different matter. They run a pretty tight ship at these institutions and you can gather what kind of place it is by reaching out to other parents. They will usually be happy to share their experience with you.
Private schools produce more college students than public schools. That’s why many of these private schools call themselves “college prep”. They are preparing your student for college. The tools they will need include a good work habit and the ability to understand what’s being taught to them.
Still, many students will not want to go to college and will instead look for jobs which require a trade. The habits learned at private school will help them in this facet as well. They can learn to get up every morning and be motivated for the upcoming work day. There is no substitution for hard work and a good attitude.
Your son can go into any number of fields after school including, but not limited to, welding, teaching, military, SEO, banking and many more. The future is really wide open for a young man willing to put in the time and effort to achieve his goals.
Call some private schools in your area and find out about enrollment numbers and tuition. You may be pleasantly surprised by what they can work out for you.
