What should I do to prepare for private high school?

Question

For example, what kind of clothes should be in my wardrobe, what supplies should I have, what kind of bookbag should I use, how should I carry my laptop, what should I do in the summer? Please be as specific as possible, because I am extremely nervous, but I love to read and knowledge calms me down. If you could share personal first-day experiences, that'd be great as well. Tell me everything, and don't leave anything out!

Answer 1

Most private high schools I know of have a uniform.  Check with the school to see if they have a uniform or a dress code, then wardrobe accordingly.

They will probably either give you a supplies list when you enroll, OR the teacher will give you a list on the first day.  Take a notebook and a pen and pencil for the first day, if they don't give you a list at enrollment.

Messenger bags are very popular now.  Check to see if you should bring your laptop or not the first day.  If so, does it fit in the messenger bag?

Read a lot during the summer.  The best students are those who have read widely, things with hard covers, not just teen magazines.

Good luck!  I'm sure you'll be fine.

Answer 2

Clothes: Hello Private school + clothes = uniform. Find out from the school what you have to wear and if there is no uniform well I'm shocked.

Bookbag: Most people at my school have either L.L. Bean or Jansport school bags.

Supplies: Have the basics ready but as for a list check with the school, school website,  its edline page if the school has edline and you have access to it, or your teachers will give you a list on the first day of classes.

Laptop: Don't know my school doesn't require one.

Summer: Whatever summer homework they give you if they give any, get ahead with service hours if that is required for your school and just relax that's what summer is for.
