"The Parents League of New York has been an invaluable resource for my family as we navigated the complex preschool admission process. They were instrumental in identifying the list of preschools that would be the right fit for my son and continued to assist in every aspect from application to acceptance."

Lesley Slater, Parent

The private school admissions exams known as the ISEE and SSAT can feel mysterious and anxiety-producing. In March 4th, we’ll shed some light on both tests so that Parents League families can approach them with the knowledge and confidence to help their students succeed. Forum Education tutor Alex Trow will give parents an introduction to the ISEE and SSAT, including an overview of what good preparation looks like, both in terms of onboarding content and onboarding a helpful mindset.
