School Placements

The educational landscape is vast and finding the right school for your child or adolescent is important. Whether exploring traditional or specialized, day or boarding, our team will guide you through the process of exploring potential schools that meet your child’s unique needs, interests, and goals. 

Just as no two students are alike, neither are two schools. Our team has travelled all over the country and world, visiting schools to learn about their distinct academic and co-curricular programming, cultures, and communities. We maintain relationships with admissions directors, heads of schools, and other school professionals to ensure we have the most up-to-date information. We have done the legwork for you.

Starting with a consultation, we will gather background information and share how we can support a school placement. Once we agree to work together, we begin the process of getting to know your child individually, reading academic reports and testing, speaking with current teachers or providers, and meeting your child if appropriate. With this information, we will formulate a customized list of school options and guide you through the admission process. This encompasses direct outreach to the schools, providing referrals for test preparation or academic tutoring, helping the student and family with the application process, preparing the student for tours and interviews, and maintaining communication with admissions officers throughout the process. 

We share your goal of finding the best fit school for your child or adolescent, one that allows them to thrive and grow as students and young people.
