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?
Henry is a local school (although not our catchment school) with a good reputation and a strong network of families and alumni. 
This was such a long and drawn out process. We loved many of the schools we visited and applied to. ![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. 
The tuition is much more reasonable than many of the independent schools (and doesn't start climbing steeply after kindergarten), and it still had all the things we were looking for. 
We were attracted to the reputation for educational quality, particular the emphasis on teaching. We also liked that the values-based education as well the quality of the non-academic programs.
