\n\tOld school to progressive, modern tech to the classical canon. Independent schools throughout the Delaware Valley run the gamut. Just as there's a lid for every pot, there's an area private school for every type of learner and student interest. <\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, MetroKids <\/strong>was proud to be the presenting sponsor of the professional development events at a fascinating conference mounted by ADVIS <\/a>(the Association of Delaware Valley Independent Schools). Educational expert Janice Crampton, who has worked at a variety of school types all across the country, led the keynote discussion about ways schools can utilize their unique "personalities" to ensure student fit (not coincidentally the concern at the top of all parental must lists when picking a private school).<\/p>\n

\n\tWe were heartened to see how serious so many schools are about their outreach efforts. Trust us when we say the directors in attendance are as eager to project their personalities to parents as yiou are to place your kids in just the right atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe conference also came just as we're putting the finishing touches on our October issue, which features an extensive education package filled with all the stuff parents want to know:<\/p>\n
