School Admissions Counseling
Private School Admissions Consulting
One-to-one private school admissions consulting, online. A consultant who has worked in private school admissions guides your family through school selection, testing, applications, and interviews, so every application is organized, polished, and on time.
What does a Private School Admissions Consulting program cover?
A private school admissions consultant guides your family through applying to independent and private day schools: choosing schools that fit, planning for entrance exams, preparing applications, and getting ready for interviews and visits. Admissions at many private schools has become nearly as selective as college admissions, and a consultant who knows the process from the inside helps your family move through it with less stress.
Every private school has its own process and timeline. Your consultant works from your family's actual list of schools, not a generic checklist.
Private school admissions help for elementary, middle, and high school entry
Not sure private school is the right move? A consultant can help your family weigh the options before you commit to applying.
Families apply to private schools at many points. Common entry years include kindergarten, 6th grade, and 9th grade, and we work with families at each stage.
Elementary school entry
For younger applicants, much of the process falls to parents: school visits, applications, and preparing your child for assessments and visits.
Middle school entry
Many schools add students in the middle grades, often in 6th grade. A consultant helps your family plan testing and applications around a busy school year.
High school entry
9th grade is the most competitive entry point at many schools. Your child's essays, interview, and ISEE or SSAT scores all matter.
Transfers and later entry
Some students apply for 10th grade, or mid-year after a move or a change in plans. A consultant can help you find schools with openings and move quickly.

A private school admissions consultant helps your family through the application process: choosing schools that fit, planning for the ISEE or SSAT, preparing applications and essays, getting ready for interviews, and reviewing everything before it is submitted. The goal is a strong, organized application and a school where your child will thrive.
About a year before your child would start at a new school. Many private schools hold tours and open houses in the fall and set application deadlines between December and February for the following school year, so starting the spring or summer before gives your family time to plan.
Yes. Your consultant helps your child practice answering questions, talking about their interests, and asking good questions of their own, so they feel prepared and can be themselves.
The process is similar: testing, essays, interviews, and recommendations. Boarding school applications also consider whether a student is ready to live away from home, and many families apply to boarding schools in several states. If you are considering both, your consultant can help you compare. Learn more about our Boarding School Admissions Consulting program.
It depends on the package and how many schools your child applies to. Our Standard package supports 1 to 3 schools, our Comprehensive package supports 4 to 6, and single components like interview preparation are available on their own. Schedule a call for a clear quote.
Look for real admissions experience at private or boarding schools, a clear process with deadlines, a focus on fit rather than prestige, and one consultant who works with your family throughout. Ask who your family will actually meet with and how they will help your child stand out.
