Private School Admissions
2007-2008 Consulting Update
Abacus Guide is thrilled to report that in this very challenging 2007-2008 private school admissions season, our clients’ children were admitted to Trinity, Dalton, Ethical Culture Fieldston, Horace Mann, Spence, Chapin, and Collegiate, as well as to many other prestigious NYC private schools.
From a 2007-2008 Client:
"<Child's Name> will definitely be going to <well-known private school> this fall! I have several friends who are on wait lists only so I feel fortunate. I can't thank you enough, Emily, for all of your support and insight during this process. You are truly exceptional at what you do and I'm sure there are many other happy and relieved families who are thankful to you as well."

ERB Test Prep
Unfortunately, the ERB matters -- a lot -- in private school kindergarten admission. We know what skills and types of knowledge admissions directors seek from kindergarten applicants. We also know what kinds of questions are on the ERB. If you're our client, we’ll tell you what to expect.
Have an older child? We can help them with the ERB or ISEE.
