[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think k-8s are your best bet, as kids sometimes leave at that point for k-12s or schools that start at 6th. When you call, I would say something along the lines of the following, “I know we’re past the deadline for next year, but we did not explore any private schools for middle school as we were planning to move. As it turns out, we will be in the area for middle school and now are looking. Do you possibly have any openings?” I think this is important because it: 1. Explains why you’re looking after the deadline. 2. Makes clear that you don’t have a contract at another private that is about to become binding in two weeks, so you have some time to work through the application process and realistically could attend. Schools will be more likely to consider you in these circumstances.[/quote] +1 to this approach [/quote]
