How to choose the right city for your school search
Choosing a school is rarely just about “the best campus.” It is about what you can realistically sustain every weekday. Start with your routine first, then use the city hubs to shortlist schools that fit your life, not just your preferences.
Start with commute reality. A school can look close on a map and still be stressful at drop-off time. Pick two or three likely routes from home and work, then use the map view to check travel time at school-run hours. If you are open to multiple cities, this step often eliminates half the options immediately.
Think in terms of pathways, not labels. Before you visit, decide what outcome you want at the end of secondary school (for example, a specific curriculum or qualification pathway). Then choose cities where that mix is more common, so your shortlist stays practical.
