PARENTS LEAGUE OF NEW YORK (PLNY): A BADGE OF APPROVAL FROM THE PARENTS OF YOUNG KNICKERBOCKERS AND NEW YORKERS

The Parents League of New York (PLNY) was originally founded in 1913 as a means of formalising discourse and relations between parents and the management of the independent and private schools at which their children were pupils. The league’s purpose is to develop material and resources, particularly to inform parents and prospective parents as to each member school’s policies and admission requirements. Initially the Parents League exclusively focused on the leading private and independent schools of New York City, however its’ success and best-in-class approach has resulted in a much wider membership with many of America’s leading schools now members of the league.

It allows for interaction and experience sharing between members with a view to ensuring that prospective parents have the best possible information available to them to assist with making decisions on appropriate schools. The participation of independent schools allowing for greater transparency regarding those schools’ admissions criteria and selection processes, similar to other such organisations including: the Parents Council and the Parents Independent School Network.
