When my son began the first grade I had a strong interest in placing him in a challenging school that will increase his potential to learn. The Manhattan Family Guide to Private Schools helped me in the process of finding the appropriate school for my son. The book provides detailed information such as, tuition, amount of grants received by the school each year, address, telephone number, etc. I was especially thrilled by the chapters focusing on financial aid, scholarship programs and testing referrals. I reccommend this book to anyone in the preliminary process of finding a specialized school in Manhattan.

While there are many college guidebooks available, unfortunately there are only a few books about NYC private schools. And despite the different titles, these books often contain content written by the schools themselves. Refreshingly, Goldman and Hausman's book is different because it is written by two private school moms. Seeking input from private school parents and students, the two authors offer more inclusive profiles than are available elsewhere. As a local educational consultant, I often recommend this book to my families as a good starting point for their research. The new edition is more comprehensive than ever. .....
