THE GO-TO GUIDE
How to Choose a School
WHEN YOU HAVE A CHOICE
BY HEATHER WEEKLEY AND JANE HAWES
Gone are the days when “choosing a school”
meant you were opting out of the publicschool system. Nowadays, within the public
and private school systems, there are a variety of choices. To help Columbus parents
navigate this process, we have compiled
some useful information with help from
School Choice Ohio (a non-profit organization that provides resources and support to
families), the Ohio Department of Education,
and local educators and administrators.
KEY TERMS
• PUBLIC SCHOOLS: traditional publicly-funded schools, operated by a local school district
and board of education
• MAGNET/LOTTERY SCHOOLS: public
schools offering specialized curricula; they
may have competitive entry procedures
• CHARTER SCHOOLS: public schools operated
on different state guidelines and also called
“community” schools; they sometimes focus
on particular teaching philosophies or subject
areas, but are not based on religious faith.
• PRIVATE SCHOOLS: charge tuition and are
largely independent from the public-school
system
• PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS: charge tuition and
include religious instruction as part of their
mission and daily curricula
• HOMESCHOOL: when parents educate their
children on their own
• ROLLING ADMISSIONS: Students can apply
and be admitted at any point in the school
year. In a non-rolling admissions system,
applications generally are made by early February with acceptance notification coming on
March 1.

DEFINING WHAT’S
IMPORTANT TO YOU
If you’re looking beyond a traditional public school, any school
you’re considering is likely to occupy its own niche: “We really do have
our own flavors,” said John Wuorinen, Columbus Academy’s Director of
Admissions and Financial Aid. “Each school has its own ethos and character.”
So learn what those flavors are, and then find the one that best satisfies your child’s appetite for learning. Here are some of the issues that
many parents use to narrow down their choices:
• CLASS SIZE: All the educators we spoke to said this is probably the
most popular issue when parents are considering a school that
charges tuition.
• SAFETY: “This one has really stood out in the last 5 to 10 years,” said
Scott Burton, Marburn Academy’s associate head of school. “Usually
we think physical safety, but it’s also about emotional, particularly
with things like cyberbullying now.”
• RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
DOING THE RESEARCH
• Start early, at least eight months prior to the start of a new
school year, say school administrators, and be mindful of
the various deadlines (whether applying for admission or
financial aid).
• Visit a school during open houses and during a normal
school day
• YOUR CHILD’S AGE: In the middle-school and high-school age
groups, educators say that the child should be very involved in making the decision about where to go to school.
• Talk to other parents and students at the school: “The
grapevine is a fantastic resource,” said Wuorinen.
• ”AFFINITY-BASED PROGRAMS”: This is the new term for extracurricular activities. These, said Burton, are “just as important (as core classes) for many kids, and colleges are taking a closer look at these now.”
• Check out these websites: scohio.org;
education.ohio.gov; greatschools.org/ohio;
ilrc.ode.state.oh.us; and pickyparent.com (also offers a
companion workbook to aid in decision making)

Your child’s future starts now.
There is a proven positive association
between music lessons and superior
academic performance.
PAYING FOR IT
Families might be tempted to rule out a school that charges
tuition once they see the price tag, but they shouldn’t because
scholarships and financial aid aren’t just for college anymore:
PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
The state of Ohio has three types of scholarships available to qualified students:
• EdChoice Scholarship Program: Gives students who attend the lowest-rated schools in
Ohio the opportunity to attend a private school (about 25,000 children in Columbus currently qualify). “It’s the best kept secret in the state!” said Sarah Pechan, director of community programs with School Choice Ohio. EdChoice provides up to $4,250 a year for K-8
students and up to $5,000 for high-school students. It’s up to the tuition-charging school
to decide if they’ll accept this scholarship money. The 2012 deadline for scholarship
applications is April 13.
• Autism Scholarship: Any child in Ohio between the ages of 3 and 22 who has autism can
apply. Recipients receive up to $20,000 in tuition.
• Special Needs Scholarship: Currently in its first year, this fund is for a child with a special
learning need or disability. Scholarships range from $7,000 to $20,000.
To learn more about these scholarship programs and their deadlines, visit the Ohio
Department of Education page at www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEPri-

has been setting the standard for
superior music education for 41 years.

PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS
Most private schools, and even many parochial schools, have access to either grants or
endowment money (interest-earning investments) that enable them to offer students financial aid. Most private scholarships are based on demonstrated financial need, but there can
be scholarships based on merit.
Just ask what’s available, say school representatives: “If a family is really interested,
there are options,” said Village Academy Head of School Susan Lasley.

COLUMBUS PARENT’S
Central Ohio Schools Directory
Columbus Parent has compiled
its first-ever guide to public,
private and parochial schools in
Central Ohio.
We have organized this directory by:
1) By county first (including Delaware, Fairfield,
Franklin, Licking, Madison, Pickaway and Union
counties);
2) Then by school type: Public School Districts;
Other Publicly Funded Schools (including charter,
online and vocational schools); Private/Non-Religious Schools; and Private/Religious Schools.
Within each school-type category, the schools are
listed alphabetically.
Our sources included:
1) Ohio Department of Education (ODE) data
2) Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus data
3) Information from schools’ websites and/or
phone interviews
About this information:
1) In order to be listed, a school had to offer at
least a full kindergarten, grade-school and/or
high-school program.
2) Tuition information, unless otherwise noted, is
for the 2011-12 school year. Most schools have
not yet determined their 2012-13 tuition.
3) Public School District ratings are from the ODE
and reflect the most recent data available (from
the 2010-11 school year).
4) If any information is incomplete or incorrect,
or if you wish to include a school that is not
listed, please send an email to
[email protected].
5) Enhanced, paid listings (highlighted in
orange) feature additional information
