NYC K-12 Independent Schools & Boarding Schools

The School Advisory Service is one of the Parents League's most popular offerings. We help families navigate the admissions process for New York City Independent Schools and Country Day and Boarding Schools. Parents League advisors provide members with a place to start in their search for a school, explain the relevant timelines for testing, applications and interviews and acquaint you with all our member schools.

We also help parents of children with special needs. We have an advisor knowledgeable about special education and inclusion programs.

The Parents League is affiliated with over 300 schools. Our advisory team regularly visits all of the New York City schools. Our advisors have years of experience as teachers, admission directors, financial aid officers and independent school board members.

Advisory sessions are available by appointment to Parents League members. Please call (212) 737-7385  to schedule an office or phone appointment.
