Formatted Feature: Insider's Guide to Private Schools (Education)

Insider's Guide is a formatted feature on phillymag.com that presents a listicle-style advice article on finding the perfect school for your child, with three useful tips provided by an education expert or insider. You will provide a short introduction and three facts or pieces of advice on choosing a school from your chosen insider.

Provide information and tips that parents can use to guide them through the school-selection process. Keep the focus on interesting, useful information, rather than promotion, to make the post feel like a native Philly mag article. This will help build your brand authority and give readers a reason to read. Limit your usage of your organization's name and brand language.
