Secondary School Placement
EDUCATION BEYOND SPS
At St. Peter’s School, we recognize the importance of selecting a secondary school that will best fit the needs of each of our graduates. Our Secondary School Placement Director works closely with Upper School students and their families to guide them through this critical process.
SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACEMENT DIRECTOR
Caryn Rivers came to SPS in 2019 as the Secondary School Placement Director. As founder of Pathfinder Placement, Caryn is a professional educational consultant with 15 years experience in the Philadelphia independent school market. She is an alumna of Episcopal Academy and a graduate of Harvard University. Caryn recently went through the placement process for her son who is now attending Revolution School.
SECONDARY SCHOOL INFO NIGHT
The Placement process begins with a Secondary School Information Night, held every Spring for current Sixth and Seventh Grade families.
Representatives from independent day and boarding schools are in attendance to answer questions and share information about their respective schools.
