Spring Break in New England with Mika-sensei
This spring, I am available to take GKA students and families on a school tour in New England and surrounding states. Several types of tours can be arranged during the week of March 23.
Prep School Tour - campus tours of boarding schools for grades 9-12. I will help select 5-7 appropriate ones from a list of over one hundred schools in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.
Junior Boarding School Tour - there is a handful of junior boarding schools (for middle school students). I will arrange campus tours and meetings.
University Tour - tours of universities will be arranged on request.
