Join Us!

We’re always thinking about the future, and we know many of you are too, especially when it comes to your child’s education. For those who are considering what comes after Vivvi, our VP of Learning Rachel Duda will be hosting a special webinar just for enrolled Vivvi parents focused on Kindergarten admissions for both public and private schools. Rachel will be joined by Nancy Schulman, former Head of the 92nd Street Y and Senior Advisor at Avenues: The World School, for a discussion about navigating the unique landscape of school applications in NYC.

 

What we'll discuss: 

  • Overall Kindergarten readiness

  • Private Schools: What to look for in a school, application process and timelines, the admissions process, applying for financial aid

  • Public Schools: Zoned schools vs. choice schools, application process and timelines, where to find information, Charter schools, and Gifted and Talented programs


Register

Whether your transition is imminent or you just want to get ahead of the game, we hope you’ll join us to learn more (and bring your questions!). Even if you can’t join us live, register anyway and we’ll send you the recording.
