Private schools have seen a flurry of new interest from families who view private schools as being better equipped to provide robust and relevant instruction for educational proficiencies, given their financial resources, space and nimbleness in adapting.

Current political changes which have resulted in potential changes and adjustments within the Department of Education have made admission to boarding school more attractive. More students are transferring from public schools, thus admissions is now even more competitive.

Over the last month or so, our New Jersey affiliate: New Jersey Admissions Advisors, has been receiving many calls from parents who reside in New Jersey who are choosing to have their children apply to private high schools in New Jersey. For some families it’s the first time applying and for others, they are reapplying, because they were previously rejected or not removed from the waitlist.
In New Jersey, the competition to gain admissions to top private high schools is heating up this year. As more and more parents discover the major challenges in suburban high schools: (a) large class sizes, (b) not much flexibility when it comes to curriculum (c) they are under more bureaucratic red tape when it comes to regulations and rules, (d) larger school counselor-student ratio; they are willing to forgo public school education (and pay tuition), which increases the application pool and competition to gain admissions into coveted slots.
Additionally, alarmed parents have been calling us because of the report from the Department of Education of the falling student literacy rate/reading skills of students in New Jersey public schools.

Being thorough and particular when evaluating a private school choice is extremely important for parents. But one thing is certain…the competitive private schools will be equally as picky when choosing your child as a member of its incoming class. Private schools have been using the traditional academic criteria of SSAT/ISEE and grades for a number of decades. However, admissions personnel have long recognized that these cognitive measures are limited in their ability to predict a student’s fit in their schools’ community and program. Increasingly, they are determining how to accurately evaluate character attributes of a student as a factor in private school admissions.
Numerous traits were evaluated and discussed by admissions professionals participating in think tanks and summit meetings regarding admissions and character. Character attributes were then rated according to importance. Among these character attributes, honesty, integrity, empathy, curiosity, creativity, teamwork, adaptability, resilience, community, generosity, self-control, adaptability and optimism were included on the list of the most important.
Each institution considers the positive attributes in the light of the goals of the school with regard to their students’ success. They have spent the last several years determining the best way to evaluate students’ character attributes during the admissions process.
Intended to complement the cognitive measures currently assessed in the admission process, the Character Skills Assessment (CSA) which is a non-cognitive assessment offers insights into an applicant’s character attributes and adds great value to the holistic evaluation of applicants.
This assessment is intended to provide a complete and comprehensive picture of each applicant, providing insight into important issues of character that currently are often difficult to evaluate. Schools will use these assessments to make even better-informed decisions.
By understanding CSA, helping students and parents develop meaningful and compelling student essays and parent statements, reviewing applications, providing mock interviews, and developing continual private school admissions strategies, Dr. Lowe’s clients are accepted to top U.S. private schools, including: Lawrenceville, Exeter, Andover, Choate, Deerfield, Loomis, St. Paul’s, Hotchkiss, Taft, Hackley, Masters, Groton, Middlesex, Kent, Milton, Thacher and Cate.
