Empowering parents to choose the best school for their child
The 2024 ACEN Parent Summit provided a comprehensive platform for parents to delve into the complexities of school admissions. Focused on independent and grammar schools, particularly for children entering at ages 7, 11, or 13, the event facilitated direct engagement with school representatives. Attendees gained invaluable insights into accessing financial assistance for school fees and scholarship opportunities, offering practical guidance for families navigating the educational landscape.
A highlight of the summit was the sharing of experiences by fellow families who have traversed similar paths. Their narratives offered a profound sense of camaraderie and reassurance, illuminating the challenges and successes inherent in transitioning to new educational environments. Additionally, perspectives from current students provided firsthand accounts of life within these institutions, enriching the understanding of attending parents and instilling confidence in their preparation for the journey ahead.
Complementing the informative sessions were engaging workshops tailored for children, aimed at demystifying the testing processes associated with selective school admissions. These activities not only provided valuable insights but also fostered a sense of empowerment and readiness among young participants. Departing from the summit, families carried not only newfound knowledge but also a strengthened sense of community, poised to embark on the educational journey with informed guidance and collective support.
