## Start with your child

Before comparing private schools in Playa del Carmen, write down three priorities: what helps your child learn, their languages and what you want from the next stage. Add previous schooling and any planned move abroad. A good fit for one family may differ from another’s.

## Compare evidence

Ask for examples of student work, an explanation of progress assessment and recognition documents for the intended level. At a bilingual school, ask what is taught in each language and how new language learners are supported. An international name does not answer these questions.

## Visit during a school day

Observe teacher–student interactions, how spaces are used and what happens when a child needs help. Ask about family communication and arrival and dismissal procedures. Try the journey from home at the usual school time.

## Compare the total cost

Use quotations for the same school year and grade. Include enrollment, monthly fees, number of payments and confirmed extra charges. Avoid comparing an isolated monthly fee with a broader package. Request El Árbol Azomali’s current quotation directly.

## Where El Árbol Azomali fits

The published approach brings together English and Spanish, constructivism, projects and a green Playacar campus. Explore it if these align with your priorities. The school describes a visit and a three-day trial; use the experience to ask questions without assuming guaranteed admission or outcomes.

## Bring a checklist

Cover grades and certificates, teachers and languages, learning progress, wellbeing and adjustment, schedules and travel, costs and conditions, and available places. Compare your visit notes with your original priorities.
