[Anonymous]

DD is currently in the 9th grade. What are the NYC equivalents to DC's private schools? Any other tips are welcome. Thx!

Also, we'll apply to basically every private, if it's that hard to get a slot, and it sounds like it is

Good luck.

Sidwell = Trinity
GDS = Horace Mann
NCS & Holton = Chaplin/Brearley/ Spence
St. Albans = Collegiate/Boarding schools (Collegiate is the only TT boys school that goes through 12th, all the others end in 8th and many boys go on to BS)
Maret = Dalton

Manhattan, or we might just live in Hoboken if we can get a 3 bedroom for a cheaper price

Thanks! We're considering anywhere she can get in, because we know admissions in NYC are wayyyyyy tougher than down here in dc

Are you working with your current school for placement? That should be your 1st conversation.

Wait. Your child has been homeschooled and you're going to RENT (as in not buy into a coop) in HOBOKEN and you're applying to the top private schools in Manhattan? Are you crazy? Why not just shoot for the Swiss boarding schools?

NOt to mention the fact that commuting to almost any private from Hoboken is horrible and your poor kid will find it hard to have play dates. Heck, hard to make friends if you live in Hoboken!
