If your family is considering switching from public to private school, you probably have many questions swirling in your mind. Is there an age or grade that's the best time to switch? How do you know a school is the right fit? How do you talk to your child about the transition? And, most pressing for many families, can you afford a private school education?
Join this presentation to ask Yocelin Gonzalez, director of enrollment management at The Athenian School in California, questions (and to hear what other families ask!) about the application process and making the transition from public to private school. Topics discussed:
- Academic adjustments and support from the school
- Reclassifying
- Fitting in socially
- Tips for homesickness (and empty nesting for parents) with boarding schools
This presentation was made possible thanks to the support of The Athenian School.
