Considering a Charter
School
While many schools work
to accommodate students via
in-person or remote in the time
of COVID-19 -many parents are
seeking a school in what is the
prime school-search season in
New York City. If you are one
of the thousands of families
weighing their child’s educational
options for pre-Kindergarten,
elementary, middle,
and high school, you are in the
thick of applications, essays,
and assessments or testing.
Aside from your regular work
and daily activities during
this time, you now must add
researching schools, contacting
administrators, and Zoom
touring neighborhood options
to your busy to-do list.
For families in the midst
of the school search, a common
online application (available
via nyccharterschools.
org) represents approximately
75% of New York City’s charter
schools, adding ease to the process
of applying. New York families
interested in applying to
charter schools can our check
individual school websites for
listings of tours, open houses,
and application instructions.
