If you have children that are interested in attending US boarding schools, this is an event not to miss. Carole Bird of Apply Ivy and Peter Kaufman of ArborBridge will be on hand to answer all of your questions about US boarding schools generally, and details about the application process specifically.
Apply Ivy will cover when to start thinking about the process and planning, the benefits of a boarding school education, the importance of finding a school that is a good fit for your child, insights about different qualities of boarding schools, and how to make the process thoughtful rather than stressful when you do decide to apply.
ArborBridge will be conducting a full overview of the SSAT exam, including an in-depth look at the skills and concepts tested on each section, an analysis of how gender and age affect percentile rankings, and a discussion of what goals to set and how much preparation students need to achieve them.
