Much to consider when choosing a private school; Find the proper fit: we asked the experts for advice

BY ELIZABETH HEUBECK Special to The Daily Record

When Baltimore natives ask one an- other where they went to school, they’re not necessarily referring to where they went to college. More often than not they’re inquiring about where they spent their formative years — kindergarten through 12th grade. That says a lot about the pride Baltimoreans possess for their child- hood school days. It’s no wonder. “The great thing about Baltimore is that there are lots of different [inde- pendent] schools, for all different kinds of kids,” said Anita Hilson, admissions director at McDonogh School in Ow- ings Mills. But finding the right inde- pendent school can seem daunting, es- pecially to families unfamiliar with schools’ offerings and how they match their children’s learning abilities and interests. To demystify the process, we’ve done some of the legwork for you by culling insider information from the ex- perts: families who have recently com- pleted the search process, area inde- pendent school representatives, and an educational consultant who’s been see- ing families through the process for MAXIMILIAN FRANZ many years.
