We specialize in boarding school consulting, visiting many campuses and meeting with admissions directors to stay up to date on changes in school environment. We work with families in helping them to find several “good match” schools. Whether your child is a high-achiever looking for a greater challenge, or a student who is struggling and in need of more support, we will find appropriate schools.
We then help students to put their best foot forward in the competitive admissions process. A special consulting program is offered for “long distance” families outside of the NY/NJ area. Also, we have experience working with 11th grade and PG placements, and with families who start the process in the spring or summer, after many deadlines. Our rates are reasonable.
Kristin White, director, is a professional member of IECA, a member of the SSAT Board, the Small Boarding Schools Association, and the NJ Association for College Admission Counseling.
