For each question, choose the option closest to you.
1 / 10Learning approach
How does your child learn new things best?
When there are clear instructions, a set routine, and a teacher who guides the process step by step.
When they can explore, try things out and discover answers through experience and experimentation.
2 / 10Attitude to mistakes
How do you want the school to respond to your child's mistakes?
Mistakes are corrected and assessed, and the child learns through clear feedback.
Mistakes are a natural part of learning — the child is encouraged to try again without punishment.
3 / 10Pace of learning
What pace of learning suits your child best?
One pace for the whole class — it gives structure, and everyone moves forward together.
Each child learns at their own speed — some faster, some slower, and that is normal.
4 / 10Grading system
How important are grades and tests to you?
Grades are an important indicator — they show how the child is developing and where they stand.
The child's character growth, inner motivation and ability to reflect matter more than external assessment.
5 / 10The teacher's role
What role for the teacher do you see as the best fit?
The teacher is an authority and a source of knowledge — they teach, direct and assess.
The teacher is a mentor and guide — they help the child find their own way.
6 / 10Curiosity and initiative
How would you like curiosity to be developed in your child?
Through a well-designed curriculum that systematically covers all the necessary topics.
Through the child's own questions, projects and the chance to explore what interests them.
7 / 10Social skills
How should a child learn cooperation and communication?
Through set classroom activities, group work and teacher-led lessons.
In an everyday environment where children resolve conflicts themselves, make decisions together and collaborate on shared projects.
8 / 10Readiness for the future
What do you most want your child to gain from school?
Solid academic knowledge that provides good preparation for university and a career.
Real-life skills — leadership, problem-solving, self-motivation and the ability to adapt.
9 / 10Environment and culture
What kind of school environment would suit your child best?
A structured environment with clear rules and a schedule.
A free, respectful environment where the child feels safe to express themselves and make their own decisions, even if that means not following the standard curriculum.
10 / 10Measuring progress
How would you like to see your child's progress?
In regular tests, grades and comparison against national standards.
Through the child's own reflection, a portfolio and real projects that show growth.
