What Parents Are Saying
"The
L.A. Private school application process is extremely intimidating and
stressful. At every turn you will be greeted by panic, hysteria and
misinformation...that is, until now! Read this book, follow their advice
and you will increase your chances of acceptance exponentially. How do I know?
It worked for us when we got into our first and only choice, in a year of
record breaking applications."

“Beyond
The Brochure’s
insider’s tips and suggestions gave me a calm confidence in navigating the
private school waters. What can be a daunting and overwhelming
process was made more manageable as it was outlined in a step-by-step manner
and came with recommendations such as not becoming too fixed on a predetermined
idea of what the “best” school is. Porcha, Anne and Christina’s research was
right: there is an incredible array of wonderful private schools out there. And, with composed perseverance, you will
end up with the right fit.”

“Beyond
the Brochure: An Insider’s Guide To Private Elementary Schools In Los Angeles is fantastic! It helped us navigate
the admissions process from beginning to end! I don't know what we would have
done without it. Every chapter was so informative that I can't even begin
to choose which chapter(s) were the most helpful. This book is an absolute
must-have for anyone applying to private elementary schools!"

Christina Simon and her
co-authors have been amazing resources to our preschool families applying to
private elementary schools. Beyond the Brochure is
really a must-read for any parent considering private school in Los Angeles
or going through the admissions process. It has invaluable
insight and offers it in a personable and approachable way. If any
parent inquires about schools, I automatically hand them this book. -Sara Perets, mom and Director of The Sunshine Shack Preschool, Hollywood
