2nd Annual Independent School Recruitiment Event- 10/16/11

With the 2011-12 school year in full swing, the 2012-13 admissions cycle for Independent Schools is just beginning.  It's the perfect time for the 2nd Annual Fall Boutique Recruitment Event (FBRE) hosted by Resources in Independent School Education (RIISE).  Chocolate Chip is proud to serve as this year's social media sponsor. 

As a parent who personally will be diving into the application process this fall (be sure to follow our journey over the next few months), I can't emphasize enough how important it is to tool up for the road ahead by attending this event.  This is the perfect opportunity to speak one-on-one with admissions staff, alumni/current students and parents from multiple schools under one roof.  Last year's panel discussion was SO informative and I'm confident this year will take us to another level.  Attendees really get a unique opportunity to consider the value of an independent school education, learn the ins and outs of the admissions process, discuss the financial commitment, gain insight into the philosophy of the various schools and how best to position your child in a competitive process.

Plan to spend your afternoon this Sunday 10/16/11 on the campus of Sarah Lawrence with RIISE and a host of Independent Schools from Riverdale to Connecticut.  Reserve your seat today!  Check out the link below for details.
