About this title

From Library Journal:

This excellent guide provides a step-by-step approach to choosing a private school. The first three chapters compare private and public education, discuss the importance of defining the needs of each child, and describe the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of private schools. The author also presents eight basic standards for evaluating schools. The volume's final chapter covers the last step in the process, which entails a personal visit to the school. Appendix A contains a detailed evaluation form to be used as a broad guide for evaluating each private school. (Appendixes B and C, which will list member schools of the National Association of Independent Schools and financial aid resources, were not seen). Unger stresses the importance of the research and evaluation process in determining the right school for each child. The book should be very helpful to parents who wish to send their children to private school. Highly recommended for most public libraries.
