  Advisory Appointments

For parents looking at kindergarten and above


Advisory sessions are available by appointment to Parents League members looking at kindergarten and above.

Join now online to take advantage of this valuable benefit. Please call after September 3, 2008 to schedule an appointment.

Whether the parent is seeking to place a young child or to make a change of school for an older child, advisors help demystify the admissions process and outline a reasonable procedure to follow.

Their advice aids parents in determining an appropriate number of schools to consider, utilizing parents preferences regarding school location, size, single sex/coed student body, facilities, and philosophy. Advisors then describe the atmosphere and structure of schools which meet the parents expressed criteria and explain the relevant time lines for testing, applications and interviews.
