Free NYC Private School Admissions Newsletter

Every month, we send out our exclusive NYC Private School Admissions Newsletter.  A former client emailed us back:

Thought you might like to know that <son's name> finished his 9th grade in good standing, with a high GPA for the year, even with all the time management struggle with honors classes, after-school sports, and outdoor activities. His goal is to do even better next year, so we're keeping our fingers crossed!

Can't thank you enough for your help in getting him into a good school! I am starting to worry (of course, right?) about what to do with regards to college, but I guess we have time to prepare.

We enjoy your newsletters as always (thank goodness, we can just now read it with amusement as we reflect on our own experience)!

For a limited time, get your own free subscription to our exclusive NYC Private School Admissions Newsletter.  Just drop us an  email!

We will get it right out to you.

Whittle School to Open in 2020

Education entrepreneur Chris Whittle, a co-founder of Edison Schools and Avenues, is  founding a new Brooklyn school this fall, named, appropriately enough, "Whittle School". The initial description of the school sounds a lot like Avenues:

Whittle School plans capacity for 90,000 students in 15 countries, with much of its leadership from China, India and the U.S. "We were building from scratch an organization that was very intentionally bi- and tri-cultural," Mr. Whittle said. "It's been very challenging."

Here at Abacus Guide, we will be waiting and seeing before recommending this new school to our clients. We certainly foresee that there may be strong demand from international students from East and South Asia, as their parents and school consultants frequently call us for help finding schools.

Whittle still owes $5.8 million to his previous start-up, Avenues. According to Leslie Brody at the Wall Street Journal:

Avenues officials said Wednesday that Mr. Whittle still hadn't paid the debt and that they are seeking to force a sale of his estate in Long Island's East Hampton, which they say was appraised at more than $100 million. It sits near the Atlantic Ocean with a view of Georgica Pond.

"Chris has failed to meet his commitments to Avenues," said Jeff Clark, president of Avenues: The World School, by email.
