Question ID: 214392
I need a private high school anywhere in New York City that will allow
my son to make up an 11th grade English class. The class must start in
August 2003. A turtoring arrangement or distance learning is
acceptable too.

Request for Question Clarification by journalist-ga on 07 Jun 2003 10:32 PDT
Do you mean in Manhattan proper or in any of the bouroughs?

Clarification of Question by faren-ga on 07 Jun 2003 15:23 PDT
Thank you for your effort. Any of the bouroughs would be fine. If you
can give me any further information within my budget it would be
appreciated. In the meantime I'll check out the link you provided.

Thanks-

Faren-ga

Thanks for the clarification, Faren.  I'd certainly like to answer
your question but the private school list doesn't qualify as an answer
to me so I didn't post it as a proper answer.  There's really no way
of ascertaining if any of those schools have programs in August for
11th grade English until they are queried one by one.  Also, each
query will require personal information about your son and posting
that type of information in this forum (personal information) is not
encouraged by Google Answers.

I have also located some tutoring services.  Would a list of those
plus the list of private schools be sufficient for your needs?  If so,
you may choose to adjust the question price to a lower amount and I'll
be happy to post my findings since I would not be making the actual
phone calls.

Also, have you spoken with the NY Board of Education to see if they
have a list of tutoring services available?

The tutor list would be helpful and I will just start making ohone
calls from the other list provided. Thanks-

Faren

Thanks, Faren.  Among all the possibilities I've located, I hope there
is one school or tutor that will be able to assist you.

I reviewed the first 500 tutor postings at Craiglist examining all
that advertised English. Many were tutors of the English language for
foreign persons so I did not include those.  There are more postings
so if you are unable to locate a tutor from among these I've provided,
please request a clarification and I'll list more.  The Craiglist
seemed to be the most comprehensive listing for tutors of all
subjects.

Greetings Faren:

I was not able to locate the information for you but I can point you
to a list (complete with phone numbers) of 65 private schools in the
NYC area.  They are listed at
http://www.abacusguide.com/NY%20private%20schools%20directory.htm

Because it is Saturday, I was unable to get anyone at the schools I
test-phoned.  Also, the cost for calling all 65 might be cost
prohibitive to a Researcher during business hours if they live outside
the NYC area.  Anyway, I wanted to provide you with a general list for
your convenience and I hope that another Researcher will be able to
locate the specific information you desire.

Best regards,
journalist-ga
