"Parents' focus should be on the people, the program, the place that puts a smile on their daughter's face and a sparkle in the eye of the girl sitting right in front of them.”
— Liz Schmitt
If you have been wondering about your daughter’s education lately, this episode is just for you. Perhaps she is ready to transition to the next grade level, perhaps your family has a move on the horizon and she will need to change her school, or perhaps you have a parental sense that she might need a very different school environment. Or maybe you just want to ensure she is already being well served by her current school. This conversation offers wisdom and guidance on each part of this exploratory journey—and be assured: It is definitely a journey! Finding the right school is a matter of both head and heart. It is about partnering with your daughter to ask the right questions as you think about the relationships that you and she will want with those in her school community.
Host, Trudy Hall asks Liz Schmitt, the Chief Enrollment and Student Affairs Officer at Miss Porter’s School in Farmington, Connecticut, and Naomi Bartholomew, the Prep School Headmistress at St Catherine’s, Bramley in the UK, to share perspectives from their different universes on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Collectively, they have decades of experience in guiding both parents and their daughters in the important process of searching for the “best” school home for a girl. What they know might just be what you and your daughter need to know as well.
