Dr. Megan Allen, NBCT

Ever wonder about independent, private, or charter school options? We have too, and we got our questions answered by an educator who knows them as both a parent and an administrator.  We'll talk to Kim Evelti Polin, the Director of Curriculum at The Williston Northampton School, and we'll tease back the layers around school choice.

Kim will share with us:

  • Why we might want to consider independent, private, or charter schools,
  • Why they were the right fit for her kids,
  • The process of getting information and applying,
  • The ins and outs of boarding school, 
  • Whether or not we should be afraid of the costs,
  • How we should tackle feeling guilty about looking at school options.

If there is a way that we can serve you through our academic coaching, math tutoring, or parent services at The Community Classroom, please visit www.thecommunityclassroom.com or email info@thecommunityclassroom.com
