Admission Season Is Upon Us

The beginning of the 2009-10 school year marks the beginning of admission season for the next year. Now is the time for families to educate and prepare themselves for the admission process. Putting together an action plan for evaluating schools, selecting the schools to which you will apply, and then completing the application process takes time and planning.

The month of October is the time that a family can begin thinking about the types of schools that might be a good fit for them and their child. Learning more about the traits and personalities of each school are vital to this process. For families who are new to private schools or who want expert help and advice on navigating the abundance of school choices that are available in San Diego, you might consider using an educational consultancy such as An Educated Choice.

Whether you use a consultant or not, your first step might be visiting web sites – both general school review sites and the web sites of the individual schools. Make your first list of schools that seem most interesting as potential choices. Contact these schools by phone or via email to request an admissions packet or catalog, and inquire about any open house events or tours that are available for prospective families.
