High School Placement
Far Brook's Supportive One-on-One Approach
Beginning in the spring of Seventh Grade, Far Brook’s Placement Office offers a comprehensive program to guide families through the transition to secondary school. We partner with families at every stage — from researching and exploring options to visiting and evaluating schools and preparing for testing and interviews. Our goal is to support students and families every step of the way and, most importantly, to help select the school that will continue to nurture and develop each student. This can include independent day schools, public high schools, and boarding schools.
In addition to many one-on-one sessions with our High School Placement Advisor, we offer the following:
- Choosing a School After Far Brook Part I: Information Session
- High School Fair
- Testing and Prep
- Choosing a School After Far Brook, Part II: Parent Workshop
- Interview Workshop and Practice Interviews
