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?
Frankford Friends is to our family the perfect school. 
This was such a long and drawn out process. We loved many of the schools we visited and applied to. 
I liked the idea of my children being exposed to different cultures including non-native English speakers. 
My son is doing fantastic. He is well above his grade level in math and reading, but far from bored and really exploring things and issues I never thought about in kindergarten! 
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. ![Public Elementary Schools Fair for Center City/SOS [EVENTS]](http://phillyschoolsearch.com/wp-content/uploads/et_temp/Chester-A.-Arthur-School-1933-96011_200x200.jpg)
The South of South Neighborhood Association (SOSNA) and the Friends of Chester Arthur are hosting a public schools fair on June 8 for neighborhood parents to learn more about local schools.
