Discussion about

Does anyone know about this school on the upper west side? Every piece of information on the internet seems to be promotional info sent from the school's PR. Specifically, how do the kids like it, what is the teacher:student ratio, what is the general tuition (not on website), are admissions difficult, how do the kids do on standardized tests vs other public/private schools...? Thanks

Go to the Parent's League (http://www.parentsleague.org/) and the Independent Schools Admission Association of Greater NY (http://www.isaagny.org/) to see what they know about the school.

I'd check that the school is "accredited" also in New York and if the teachers are licensed in any way.

I doubt you'll get much information on standardized tests because the school has only been open in the city for 3 years.

The starting price for 1/2 day at most pre-k schools is close to 18,000 right now. However, this place also has after school programs, so your child could enroll in a traditional school during regular school hours.
