Ask for real examples rather than general promises. These answers show how the school supports each child daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How long should a school tour take?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most tours last between 45 and 90 minutes. Allow extra time to observe a lesson and ask follow-up questions. A rushed tour rarely shows a school&#8217;s true character.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Should I bring my child on a school tour?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, whenever possible. Many children sense the atmosphere in ways adults miss. Ask your child afterward what they liked and what felt uncomfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How many schools should I visit before deciding?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visiting two to four schools usually gives useful comparison without overwhelm. Use the same question list at each school. This keeps your comparison fair and focused.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What should I ask a bilingual or French international school?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask how many hours each language receives and who delivers lessons. Check AEFE accreditation and language support for newcomers. Ask how your child can continue if your family relocates.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions to Ask on a School Tour: The Complete Guide for Parents in Vietnam The best questions to ask on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"kdcopypost-origin-url":"","kdcopypost-origin-id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":{"sous_titre":"","photo":20510},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
