Why we exist
Finding the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family makes, and one of the most overwhelming. Navigating open houses, application deadlines, waitlists, and school philosophies while balancing everything else life demands is a full-time job in itself.
Aschoo was built to change that.
Our Mission
Aschoo helps Manhattan families find private schools and preschools that are genuinely the right fit, not just the most prestigious, not just the closest, but the right match for each child's learning style, personality, and family priorities.
How We're Different
Most school search tools are glorified directories. Aschoo goes deeper. Our matching platform combines detailed school data with a thoughtful intake process to surface schools that align with what your family actually values, whether that's a Montessori environment, small class sizes, a strong arts program, or a school that feeds into a particular K–12 pathway.
Built by a Parent, for Parents
Aschoo was founded in New York City by a parent who went through the private school search firsthand, and came out the other side convinced there had to be a better way. Every feature we build is informed by the real complexity families face during admissions season.
Our Data
We maintain a comprehensive, regularly updated database of private schools and preschools across New York City, covering admissions timelines, tuition, teaching philosophy, neighborhood, and more. We work to keep our information accurate, but always recommend verifying details directly with each school.
