32. Education Series: Journey To Private School

Education in New York City will forever be a hot topic. This season we're exploring various school options offered to New York City kids by sitting down with adults who have first hand experiences with them. Our guests will range from parents, teachers, and administrators.

🏫 In this episode, we had the privilege of talking with Devyn Humphrey about NYC Independent Schools; otherwise known as Private Schools in other cities. Devyn has lived in New York City for well over a decade and is a proud mom to two elementary aged kids who currently attend an independent school. She does a really good job sharing how she ended up choosing this type of school since she herself grew up going to public school.

This conversation is an interesting one because Devyns job at the time gave her access to many types of schools. This assisted her in the process of applying for schools when her first child was applying to Kindergarten. After listening, we hope you walk away feeling more knowledgeable of your school options.
