Preschool and K-12 Los Angeles School Questions Answered and Adviced Offered... Affordably

 

Overwhelmed by trying to navigate the multitude of school options in Los Angeles, or trying to figure out which options would work for your family? L.A. School Scout™ now offers the L.A. School Whisperer™ consultation – a low-cost, no-frills way to access expert, thoughtful and compassionate guidance to families needing help thinking about their school options.

In a 50-minute phone consultation (during business hours*) our new L.A. School Whisperer™ service will give you access to an affordable professional consultation, and the confidence to move ahead with your decision-making about schools and admission, whether you need:

  • a general overview of your school and neighborhood options,
  • a general sounding board about school in general, or
  • guidance in thinking about your child’s current school issues.

Armed with professional knowledge of Los Angeles area schools – preschool, elementary school, middle school or high school, public, private or parochial, including charter or magnet – our new L.A. School Whisperer™ consultation offers expert help with any one of the following:

  • Help deciding what you are looking for in a school, or what your child needs.
  • How you determine whether to hold your child back for a year, and what are your options if you do, when your child’s birth date bumps up against the Kindergarten cutoff date.
  • An overview of all your public school options – neighborhood schools, charters and magnets, inter-district and intra-district permits.
  • Help determining if there are affordable private school options in your area, or whether you qualify for financial aid.

You might be in a quandary about your child’s current school situation, public or private, and wondering if you have any options, whether for the current school year or the next.

You may have heard of schools from your friends and neighbors, and eagerly signed up for school tours only to learn that these aren’t even the types of schools you’re looking for.

You think your child might be gifted – what are your best options?

An affordable professional consultation – the L.A. School Whisperer™ service – is now available. Instead of obsessing endlessly with friends (or procrastinating endlessly) about schools and what you should be doing right this minute, or signing up for a round of time-consuming, soul-sucking tours which leave you even more bewildered than ever, in a single low-cost consultation L.A. School Scout will help you focus in on what you need to do in deciding on which schools are right for you. Based on your specific needs, a fifty-minute L.A. School Whisperer™ phone consultation can offer:

  • A general discussion of your school options at all grade levels
  • A frank discussion of the differences between specific schools – yes, we name names!
  • Criteria for choosing a school other than its reputation
  • Discussion of if, when, where and how to apply to a school, including neighborhood schools, charter schools, magnet schools, parochial schools and private schools
  • A short list of suggested schools that will fit your child
  • Development of a timetable for completing application components
  • A discussion of neighborhood options for free public schools
  • A plan for moving ahead with your school search
  • Mediation of differing opinions regarding styles of education – this may be the best couples counseling you’ve ever had!

Each L.A. Phone Whisperer consultation is about one child or set of twins.

As part of our mission to empower you, the parent, in making sure you know all of your options, we now offer the L.A. School Whisperer™ service, a no-frills, low-cost consultation to help you choose the right school for your child, rather than hoping that the right school will choose you.
