Hi,

I have a child with a November 5th birth day who is socially and academically ready for Kindergarten. However, the cut off date for admittance is Sept.1, and he must be 5 on or before that date.

Are there any schools in the Philadelphia or Conshohocken area that provide testing so that my child doesnt have to start 1 year late? I am willing to pay for private school and that would be my preference.

Thanks!

My experience with private kindergarten is that they will be flexible with the age/birthday based on an individual case by case.

For public school, there rules are pretty strict when it comes to Kindergarten but they do make exception for 1st grade and up based on testing.

Have you look into Germantown Academy?

Private school yes, public school: not a chance in Hades.
