How Do You Survive A Private High School?
High school is rarely an easy time for anyone, so if you’re having problems or nerves, remember that you’re not alone. Private schools have different rules and guidelines to follow so make sure you know what you’re up against and go with the flow. Find out as much information as you can before you start or at the beginning of each semester. Go to orientation and gather as much information as you can about the classes, clubs, layout and rules so you know exactly what to expect before you begin. Get involved with clubs and societies. Whether it’s the swim team or the debate club, sign yourself up. This is a great way of meeting people and making new friends with similar interests. If you are new to the school, it may also offer some “protection” as you are part of a group. Read through the rules and code of conduct carefully. Most private schools are quite strict when it comes to uniform and what you can and can’t do such as chew gum or dye your hair. Follow the rules so you won’t stick
