Choosing a school for your child is an important decision as a parent. Attending an Open House is your opportunity to go beyond the brochures and websites in order to see, feel, and experience what makes a school community truly special.
While you’ll want to ask about curriculum, class size, and tuition, the most meaningful questions help you discover whether a school is the right fit for your family.
Key Questions to Ask
- How do teachers personalize learning for each student?
Every child learns differently. Ask how teachers adapt lessons for various learning styles and abilities.
Schools that use Project Approach, like Rohan Woods School, guide students through inquiry-based learning, encouraging curiosity, independence, and critical thinking while tailoring experiences to each child’s strengths.
- How does your school foster collaboration and creativity?
Creativity fuels problem-solving, confidence, and curiosity. Look for schools that emphasize teamwork and imagination through hands-on, innovative activities.
At Rohan Woods, students learn by doing in a collaborative and creative environment through Project Approach.
- How is the curriculum tied to real-world experiences?
When learning connects to life outside the classroom, it becomes more meaningful. Ask about opportunities for field trips, guest speakers, and applied projects that bring lessons to life.
Through Project Approach, Rohan Woods integrates field experiences, guest experts, and hands-on research. These real-world experiences help students connect learning to the world around them.
- What specialty classes are offered?
Programs in art, music, language, technology, and physical education allow students to explore interests beyond core academics.
At Rohan Woods, students enjoy Spanish, Music/Theatre, Art, and Science along with daily PE.
- How does the school build a sense of community?
Learning extends beyond academics. Ask how the school fosters relationships among students, parents, and teachers.
Rohan Woods’ small class sizes, collaborative projects, and meaningful family involvement help create an environment where everyone knows each other’s names.
- How are leadership and responsibility encouraged?
Ask how the school helps children develop confidence and character.
At Rohan Woods, even the youngest learners take on leadership roles — guiding peers, contributing to class activities, and solving real-world problems with independence and empathy.
- What does a typical day look like for students?
Understanding the daily rhythm helps you see how academics, creativity, play, and social time fit together.
Rohan Woods School invites you for a tour to see our school in action.
Making the Most of Your Visit
An Open House is more than a tour, it’s your chance to feel the heartbeat of a school. Ask questions. Observe interactions. Picture your child learning, laughing, and growing there. You may just find the perfect place to begin their next educational adventure.
Finding a School That Feels Like an Extension of Home
When a school truly feels right, you’ll know. The warmth in the hallways, the laughter in classrooms, and the teachers who know each student by name. These are the moments that reflect a community built on trust, care, and connection.
At Rohan Woods School, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and inspired. Through Project Approach, students become active participants in their own learning, gaining the skills and confidence to thrive both in school and beyond.
If you’re searching for a place where your child will be known, challenged, and loved, Rohan Woods invites you to visit our next Open House on November 20 and experience the difference for yourself.
Not able to make it on November 20th? Feel free to contact us to schedule a private tour.
