Set Your Child Up for Success

Your child is unique. No question. If there’s one truth you know, it’s that they are special.

That’s why finding the right school is so important.

Because your child’s learning environment can shape their mind and future.

But will the school fulfill your expectations? How do you know?

You could learn about it online or get advice from education consultants.

But to get a feel for where your child will blossom and grow it's important to meet and speak with school representatives in person.

Our Kids Private School Expo lets you meet with your top choices and get a sense of each school—all in one day, in one place.

Chat with school reps, ask questions, hear what other families have to say, and interact with each school on your shortlist (and maybe some you missed) all in one stop.

You’ll leave fully prepared and ready to make a confident, final decision.

Top Three Reasons Parents Choose Private School

More one-on-one attention

Private schools have smaller class sizes so children receive more individualized instruction


Stronger university prep

Academics tend to be more challenging in private schools, with many offering AP courses and IB diplomas


Focused personal growth

In addition to academics, many private schools teach kids key values and character traits like honesty, independence, and responsibility
