It’s more important that coming to SOTA is what your Child wants, not just you projecting your aspirations on your Child. Of course, you need to guide the child to find out as much as possible about the SOTA environment, curriculum, etc. and facilitate an objective consideration for a decision to apply. But the Child needs to fully embrace the choice. Sharing from my personal experience, I first heard of SOTA from a friend's daughter who very passionately expressed how she loved school and is very happy in the environment. That piqued my interest because I seldom hear of teenagers being “Happy” with school. As parents, it is a common desire to provide our children with an environment where they can thrive and develop to their fullest potential. But on top of that, what we really want most is for our children to be Happy. To be in an environment where they thrive emotionally & socially too. I think SOTA offers this unique environment.
