Private school in Tunis: choosing for someone who has no say yet
No parental choice carries as much projection as picking a school — precisely because the child doesn't get a vote.
Choosing a private school is one of the few decisions made entirely for someone else, without that person having any say. We project our own hopes onto it, sometimes our own school-day regrets, more than the child's actual needs.
That projection isn't avoidable — it's even partly legitimate, since parents carry real responsibility. But it deserves to be recognized as such: the best school isn't necessarily the one that would have suited the child we once were, but the one suited to the child actually in front of us.
In Tunis, the private offering has diversified across alternative pedagogies, bilingual tracks, and more classic institutions. An unannounced visit, outside carefully staged open days, often reveals more than any brochure.

What if the best school weren't the one that reassures parents the most, but the one that unsettles the child the least?
