Navigating Public and Private School Admissions:  a 3-part series to guide families in middle and high school applications

One of the greatest challenges for families is ensuring the best education for their children at every stage. With the transitions to middle school and high school, families find themselves at a crossroad – which can be a unique opportunity for different, better options for their child. Where do families begin when they are considering a change of school for their children?

The Cornell Club of New York is ready with experts to help! Our speakers will share proven strategies for parents to support their children in school choices and applications, as well as key tips and guides to those considering applying out – whether to public or private schools.

Attendees are invited to register for any or all of the presentations.
 
Thursday, May 4, 2023 7:00-8:00 pm EDT: An Introduction to Private Middle to High School Admissions 
Presentation and Q&A by Krista Peterson and Robin Aronow
Choosing to apply to middle- or high school can be a daunting process: Which school is the best fit for your child and your family? Should you limit your search to local options or consider boarding school? From finding time for test prep to writing the admissions essay, from conjuring up a school list to crunching tuition figures, the school admissions process is fraught with big questions and challenges – especially given the changes and disruptions of recent years. The Cornell Club is thrilled to have two terrific experts – in both boarding schools and NYC independent schools – together to address these topics and more!

Krista Peterson is a College and Secondary School Admission Consultant with College Goals. Krista brings many years' experience as director and associate director of admissions and as a college advisor in several boarding schools. Now an independent educational consultant working with independent school and college applicants, Krista brings tremendous insight and range to advising students and parents. collegegoals.com
