{/* Reading column */}

Porter is creative and sporty, smart and visibly outgoing. That combination is genuinely useful in this process — schools will notice his social confidence and energy.

The creative streak makes arts-forward schools a natural fit, and the sportiness means you should also be asking about physical education, outdoor time, and whether the school has space for active kids to move.

The schools likeliest to suit him: Center for its warmth and developmental culture, Oakwood for its progressive energy, Crossroads and The Willows for arts-first environments where creative kids lead.

{/* Tate */}

Tate will likely apply for Fall 2029 K, with the process starting Spring–Fall 2028. Many families find the second cycle significantly easier — you'll know the landscape, have alumni connections, and the schools will already know your family. Where Porter lands matters for Tate's process too. Worth flagging sibling preference policies on every tour.

Choosing for the world Porter will grow up in

By the time Porter is in 5th grade, AI will handle most rote academic tasks. The skills that hold value are the ones AI can't replicate.

Creative thinking, emotional intelligence, collaboration, and the ability to ask original questions. Prioritise places that develop the whole child over those that drill academic performance early. Ask schools directly: how do they think about preparing kids for a world of AI? The answers will be revealing.
