Sorry for the delay. January is good because you apply in the same year for public and private schools. Public schools use the calendar year and private schools have an official Sept 1 cutoff, so when you do you are the oldest for public and have a good month for privates. If you are looking at public gifted, you do whatever the instructions are thtat year, they have changed every year for the past few years. Hunter will post on its website, but you request an application over the summer, submit it in the fall and dc takes the Stanford Binet test with a Hunter designated psychologist. For private schools, you need to take the ERB. The erb testing season is April through January and the test can be taken at dc's preschool or at the testing office. You start looking at private schools in the spring or fall of the year before you want to attend. So for January 07, your child would be entering K in Sept. 12, and you could begin ERB/tours in Spring 11. Your child could start preschool in Sept. 10, you call the day after labor day to request applications. That would be done in sept. 09. [ Reply | More
