Parents sharing the process of searching for a school in Greater Philadelphia. What kind of school are you looking for? Charter, public, private, city, suburban?
The School District of Philadelphia mandates that every one of its elementary schools host a kindergarten open house next week on March 1, 2011. If you are considering a district kindergarten for your child, an open house is your chance to visit a school and check it out. (Be sure to read our article, What to Ask When Visiting a School before you go!) If you are considering multiple schools via relocation or the voluntary transfer program, or simply are not available on March 1, there is an additional district-mandated kindergarten open house week the week of May 23. I posted a few of the open houses (with times) on our open house calendar, but contact your school of interest to get information on their open house schedule.
