103 Kindergarten Admission Decisions | Nina Hanlon

On today’s episode, Greenwich Academy’s Nina Hanlon is
chatting with us about Kindergarten admissions and how families
of color should interpret the decisions they receive.


Thousands of prospective families are about to find out
whether or not their Kindergarten-aged children have been
admitted to their desired independent schools. For many February
4th is a very emotional day and parents may feel excited, scared,
confused, maybe even dissatisfied by the whole admissions
process. And, then the older grades will follow with their
notices of acceptance.
