Books
This is the bible for families applying to New York City’s private schools. Now in its 6th edition, the perennially popular and consistently updated Manhattan Family Guide has listings for 80 elementary and high schools, as well as information on admissions procedures, programs, diversity, school size, staff, tuition, and scholarships. Essential.
A useful secondary book to the Manhattan Family Guide. This is more of a common-sense guide to getting through the admissions process, with a whole lot of "don't's," like "don’t answer your phone in the middle of an interview" to some very obvious "do's," like "do write a thank-you note to your interviewer." Worth a look for parents who are truly starting from square one.
