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?
![3 Parents Share Why They Chose Greene Street Friends [School Selection Report]](http://phillyschoolsearch.com/wp-content/uploads/et_temp/all-school-heart-small-40239_200x200.jpg)
We love the small school experience of Greene Street, the focus on educating the whole person, the excellent sense of community and commitment to diversity and inclusiveness that a relatively low tuition allows. 
Great teachers, great resources, great parents. 
With so many people vying for spots in the same trendy public and charter schools, it is worth considering some schools that might not be on your radar. 
The high caliber of the students and the diversity are what make Masterman special. Masterman has a reputation with some of being the "public school that is more like a private school" but that is so incorrect. We have kids from every neighborhood in the city and every income level. 
This Wednesday evening, I will be at Congregation Rodeph Shalom hosting a meetup for families of young children in Center City/Fairmount who are embarking on the elementary school search. Come, enjoy some pizza, learn a little bit about the process of choosing a school in Philly, and meet other parents in the same boat. 
We are happy to announce two new initiatives for our site: a Philly School Search Parent Discussion list and Regional Meetups!
Bache-Martin is on the right path and will soon be among the city's best. I hope more Fairmount parents will take a chance on this school--having involved neighborhood support will only help the school.
