Workshops

We regularly offer the following information sessions:

  • Navigating the selective school admissions process

These workshops provide parents with tips regarding 1) how to identify the  schools that meet your child's and family’s needs, 2) the logistics of the admissions process, 3)  touring schools, 4) parent interviews, 5) preparing your child for interviews and/or assessments, 6) writing a compelling essay, and 7) juggling acceptances and wait-list offers. Workshop attendees will receive handouts summarizing the information presented in the session as well as handouts to help prepare parents for the school tours, interviews and the entrance exams.

Child and Family Surveys

We have created surveys that help us determine your child’s educational profile as well as your family’s educational goals and practical concerns. More specifically, the survey asks questions about your child’s basic learning capacity, skill development, learning styles, motivation to learn, social temperament and disabilities. In addition, the questionnaire asks parents about the importance of various school characteristics (e.g., educational approach, teaching methods, classroom behavior management approach, school community) as well as any practical considerations that are important, including the school’s type, location, schedule, transportation, and cost. Once we have reviewed the survey results, we will schedule a time to talk to you about your child’s educational profile as well as send you a list of schools that we think will meet your child’s and family’s needs.
