We are fortunate to live in an area where there are many independent schools that serve a wide variety of students. Independent schools typically pride themselves in providing a very personal approach. The mission and size of the school may impact the variety and types of offerings the school might have. Some schools may make a better match for your child than others. In addition, your family may wish to explore the option of boarding schools.
To help you explore independent schools, we have assembled a variety of resources:
Information on testing needed for applying to these schools.
A list of some schools including area independent day schools, specialized schools, archdiocesan high schools, and boarding schools.
For those who may wish even more help with the transition process than is available through Benchmark and would like to hire an outside consultant, you can search area counselors through the Independent Educational Consultants Association.
