Greenwich Education Group’s 8th annual Secondary School Fair is set for Tuesday, May 16, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Eastern Greenwich Civic Center in Old Greenwich.
The fair is free, open to the public, and serves to acquaint families with an array of excellent independent day and boarding schools throughout the United States and Canada. More than 90 top schools will be on hand to meet with and answer the questions of prospective students and their families.
The process for admissions to private day and boarding schools is highly competitive as more and more students bring a wealth of academic achievements, experiences, and interests to the table. Attending the Secondary School Fair will give students and parents the opportunity to speak with admissions representatives to get a taste of the different schools.
More than 500 prospective students and parents from Fairfield, Westchester, Putnam, and New Haven counties as well as New York City attended last year’s event to meet admissions directors and learn about the schools.
Victoria Newman and Muffy Fox, Co-Directors of Day and Boarding School Advisory Services at Greenwich Education Group, note that choosing the right independent day or boarding school is a decision that can have a lifelong impact.
The Secondary School Fair offers families an efficient way to compare the offerings of a variety of these schools.
