High school admissions
Private boarding and day school admissions.
Expert guidance for admission to elite prep schools nationwide.
What We Actually Do
Getting into a top boarding or day school is hard. The acceptance rates are brutal, the essays are time-consuming, and it's tough to know if you're even on the right track. We've been through this process hundreds of times. We know what works and what doesn't, and we'll help you put together an application that genuinely reflects who your child is.

How We Work
Every family is different, and cookie-cutter advice doesn't cut it. Here's how we actually help:
Finding the Right Schools
Not every "top" school is the right fit. We help you figure out which schools actually match your child's personality, interests, and goals, not just which ones have the fanciest names.
We've visited these campuses, talked to current students, and worked with families who've gone through the process. That context matters when you're trying to show a school why you belong there.
Interview Prep
Interviews can make or break an application. We run practice sessions and give honest feedback, not just "great job!" but "here's what you need to work on."
The goal isn't to teach your child to perform. It's to help them feel comfortable talking about who they actually are and what they're genuinely curious about.
Essays That Sound Like You
Admissions officers read thousands of essays. They can spot a coached, over-polished essay from a mile away. We help your child write something that actually sounds like them, not like every other applicant.
That means real stories, real voice, real personality. It's harder than it sounds, and that's where our feedback helps.
Making It All Fit Together
Your application has a lot of pieces: grades, essays, recommendations, activities. We help make sure they tell a coherent story instead of just a list of accomplishments.
Who should write your recommendations? How do you describe that summer project? What should you emphasize vs. downplay? These details matter more than most families realize.
