Welcome to the Writer's Room. Upcoming College Essay & Playwriting Clinics
I recently asked Greg and Matthew to put together small group classes for young writers, and they came up with two very different programs that serve a similar goal: nurturing young writers far beyond the typical classroom approach. Greg’s clinic will help incoming seniors ideate high impact college essays in an intimate writer’s room setting, while Matt’s workshop will give young creators an opportunity to hone their craft and work directly with professional actors.
Tuesday Talks: 30 Minute Toolkits for City Smart Families (Updated)
Each and every day parents reach out to us with fascinating questions about every facet of the educational journey. How can I help my family manage stress during a competitive admissions process? To what extent should I allow my child to make learning mistakes? Is my child applying to too many colleges?
As part of our on-going effort to educate and inform students and parents alike, we are launching a semi-regular series of “Tuesday Talks,” short Zoom sessions packed with tools to navigate the educational challenges that our families tend to encounter. These talks are free and open to anyone who registers. We hope to see you at one or two of them!
