K12 Academics Updates for September 4th-10th

This was a slow week for listings. You will notice two Directories have gone live on the website. I would like to welcome all of those who have signed up as of the past two weeks as the web site has seen a serious spike in traffic as the new school season begins. Also, keep in your thoughts and prayers for those who lost their lives and loved ones in the tragic events of 9/11. It seems like only yesterday it happened despite it being 5 years ago.

New Directories

The National Boarding School Directory has gone live as of 09/05/06.

The International High School Study Abroad Directory has gone live as of 09/11/06.

Education and Disability Message Board

I have created a Message Board for those who frequent the web site to interact with one another. K12 Academics used to run a very successful Yahoo! group which was erased by hackers unfortunately, despite having 1000+ members. I hope you all will join so it doesn't look so empty.
