Exmissions

At Ya Ya, we are dedicated to guiding families through the independent school admissions process with care and expertise. We see the exmissions process as an extension of your child’s learning journey. It is our privilege to support families as they take this next exciting step.

Our Approach

At our family-like school, we have the luxury of knowing each child deeply. This allows us to provide families with truly personalized guidance as they explore school options in New York City—a process that can often feel overwhelming. Our exmissions team leverages this intimate understanding to help families identify schools that will be the best fit for their child. From start to finish, we are here to support you every step of the way, making the journey thoughtful, smooth, and reassuring.

Individualized Support Includes:

Workshops and One-on-One Meetings:

Helping families understand the process and feel prepared.

Practical Resources:

Sharing videos, presentations, and blog posts with families to provide insight and guidance.

Independent School Report:

Collaborating among your child’s teachers, the school director, and the education director to craft a detailed, comprehensive report that truly showcases who your child is as a learner.

Active School Connections:

Engaging with the independent schools families apply to and advocate on their behalf.

Decision Support:

Meeting with parents when admissions results arrive to help them thoughtfully consider their options.

While we do not provide direct support for public school admissions, we are happy to share resources to help families explore those pathways as well.

We cannot thank you enough for all the tremendous guidance and support you have provided us throughout this process. It is very clear that you care deeply for your students and their future education. You have put in so much time and effort and gone above and beyond. We were delighted that our daughter got offers to all the schools to which we applied and we are sure that this was due, in large part, to the support you provided. The Admissions Director at St Luke’s specifically mentioned she had received a wonderful report about our daughter from Ya Ya.
