Parents
can really do their homework with these Guides!
A
Parent's saving grace to the nerve-racking
private school admission process
|
Arriving
just in time for the arduous private school application
process, Tree House Press is please to announce The
Los Angeles Private School Guide 5th Edition and The
Los Angeles Preschool Guide 2nd Edition. These much
sought after and useful guides, written by Fiona Whitney,
a mother of two, are back by popular demand. The schools
have actually been visited and observed first hand,
often several times, before a thorough review of the
school is written. The reader will get a ‘birds eye
view' of the school through the discerning eyes of a
parent.
New schools have been added and many of the schools included in
the last edition have been re-reviewed and updated.
You
will find key, up-to-date information such as tuition
prices, application and new family fees; application
deadline dates as well as expected parental contributions
and involvement. Author Fiona Whitney says:
| “Research has shown,
that many a parent has been surprised at the TOTAL
cost of the school when they find out about all
these fee's and the amount of volunteer hours required
after enrolling. These things can really add up,
and it's important to know in advance what you're
really signing up for.” |
You will find information on the different teaching methods, schools sports programs,
and the extracurricular activities they offer your child.
You will be told which entrance examination is required
for a particular school, and if that school offers financial
aid. You will also find exclusive insider information
like feeder high schools and the best grades to apply
for.
Also in this years edition of The LA Private School Guide you will find information on Charter Schools run
by the public school system. There's information on how
to start one and how to get into them. You can read a
review of a new charter school opened less than
3 year's ago, along with a number of other ones than you
can check out through one convenient website address.
Updated information has been added about LAUSD's G.A.T.E.
and Magnet programs. Some parents may be looking for an
alternative to private schools and their ever-increasing
tuition costs. |
