Helping families find their best-fit schools

Applying to independent day or boarding schools can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to.

We will help with:

  • Application support (around school essays and other application materials)

  • Transcript/academic progress review and evaluation

  • Identifying important decision-making factors (such as school values, extracurricular offerings, and other selection criteria)

  • Application timeline management

  • Final application review

  • Test prep guidance (SSAT or ISEE) and tutor referrals

  • Helping students develop their confidence

  • Interview preparation

  • School outreach strategy

  • School visit recommendations

  • Waitlist guidance

Of course, if any other questions arise along the way, we are more than happy to provide support.

It’s all about the fit. We’re committed to helping find the schools where children will grow and find success.

To this end, here are a few of the questions we will discuss:

  • How far away are you willing to travel, and do you have a desired geographic region?

  • What are your personal values, and which schools have you identified thus far that share these same values ?

  • What type of school culture are you looking for, and in what types of environments do you feel most comfortable?

  • What does a sense of belonging feel like to you?

  • What role do specific identifiers (such as religion, race, culture) play in your education, and how important is joining a community with others who share or celebrate these identifiers?

  • What extracurricular offerings (athletics, arts, or other) are must-haves in a school?

  • How important is the size (student population) of a school?

  • Will you require any specialized support services, and if so, which schools are best positioned to provide these?
