find the right NYC public school that is the best fit for their child.

Testimonials

“We knew what we envisioned for our son’s middle school experience but found the whole process extremely overwhelming. You were so reassuring, empathetic and had amazing insights into each of the schools we were interested in (and those that weren’t even on our radar!) Thank you for taking the time to understand our family’s values and helping us navigate the process!”

— Brooklyn mom of two
