When should you start working with a consultant?

For students applying to college, ideally, we recommend you start working with your educational advisor in 10th grade. The majority of our work together occurs during junior and senior year. However, starting early allows us to get to know your student and understand their strengths and interests, and it allows us to provide guidance with course selection, areas of development, extra-curricular and summer planning, and early list development. Since we provide targeted assistance as well as comprehensive services, the level of support can vary based on what level of service best meets your specific educational planning needs.

For independent and boarding school students, we work with students of all ages, whether they are seeking a local option or a boarding school.

For students who are not thriving in their current educational environment, the sooner this is identified and interventions are made the better. We can help students and families figure out barriers to learning, and assist them in identifying strengths and talents to use as a spring board for thriving in and out of the classroom. We want to empower students to recognize their strengths, and help families figure out what steps need to be taken to assist their student in continuing to thrive academically and socially. Identifying educational solutions often involves a combination of factors, and our goal is to assist you in this process.
