Placement After HWIS

It is the goal of our placement office to support our students in their discovery of a best fit school after HWIS.  

New York

For New York students seeking high school placement - Beginning in the spring of 7th grade NY students begin working with Dr. Robin Aronow, Director of High School Placement, in a group session of all students and parents, followed by individual student/parent meetings.  Discussions will include Information about the NYC private and public-school selection process, school profiles and considerations for the various types of schools in NYC.  Individual sessions will focus on getting to know students better including what they enjoy in a school, and what goals they wish to pursue.  

The Director helps families create their own personal school lists; prepares students for school visits and interviews; gives guidance in the areas of admissions testing options and portfolio and audition preparation; and provides academic records and teacher recommendations requested by high schools. The process continues with ongoing support through the 8th grade admissions season.  

At HWIS we are committed to providing personalized guidance to help families find the school where your child will continue to learn and grow.

New Jersey

For New Jersey students seeking placement for Grades 6 and up - Principal David Heller and founder Sharon Huang provide support to students and families seeking to ex-missions to other schools.  During the fall of the year preceding the application deadlines, families meet with HWIS to discuss their goals and criteria for ongoing schools.  We help develop a list of schools, guidance for the process, and support with coordination of academic records, teacher recommendations and ongoing follow up with the admissions teams.
