“New Pastures” – School Search Package
This package is specifically designed for parents who are in pursuit of the best school, - with your child’s interests and needs guiding the process: Gifted, Special Education, Alternative, or On-line. As the search for local private and exemplary public schools becomes more competitive, with tighter entrance guidelines, I assist families in identifying “target schools” to maximize your admission strategies. My expertise is founded upon an insightful review of your child’s academic/medical records, and first-hand knowledge of area schools. When you are seeking “greener pastures”, it certainly helps investing in the consultation of an education expert; one who can discriminate between good schools & great schools!
