April 7 – Who are we helping our kids become? How to Navigate Choosing a High School

Who are we helping our kids to become? How does high school fit in? What comes next should be as unique as your child!

Join Sam Prouty, Director of Admissions at Middlebury College and a Vermont Day School parent, for a conversation about how to approach selecting a high school for your student.

Sam will present the questions parents and students should be asking of themselves and potential schools. The public and private schoollandscape will be discussed, along with some of the myths and assumptions made about how high school prepares students for the college admissions process.

There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.
