Questions to ask when choosing a Christian School for your child.

Regents Park Christian School understands the importance of finding the right education for your child. We also understand that it can be a daunting process, and a decision not to be taken lightly.

To help guide you through this journey, we have compiled a selection of questions aimed at helping you decide if a school is the right fit for your child, and your family.

From practical questions such as class sizes and yearly fees, to spiritual considerations of faith and service – these questions will help you build a full picture of what a school can offer your child and their future.
