The Kindergarten Wars: The Battle to Get Into America's Best Private Schools

Alan Eisenstock

The Kindergarten Wars

Alan Eisenstock, former screenwriter and seven-year member of the board of directors of a private independent elementary school in Los Angeles, provides startling insight into the private school application process. He follows several families across the country from their first school tours to the ultimate nail-biting moment when they open that acceptance - or rejection - letter from a top-pick school. Through interviews with admissions directors, school heads, teachers, educational consultants, and kindergarten tutors, readers learn the hard facts, including: Who gets in and why? Does the right kindergarten really help your child get into the right college? Does ethnic diversity improve a child's chances for being admitted to a top school?
