Advisory Services
Our advisors provide a place for families to start in their search
for the right school for their child, and help explain the admissions
procedures. Advisors visit member schools to learn about each program so
they can share this information with families. The Parents League is
often the first call a family makes when relocating from overseas or
another part of the country.
Grade Openings
The school advisory service works individually with families
throughout the year to guide them to schools with possible openings.
Fall and Spring Workshops
Daytime workshops on various parenting topics are presented several
times a year. Attendance by faculty and staff is welcome. More
