Finding the right private day school or boarding school fit is no easy task. The danger is both doing too little and too much comparing. Each school has its unique aspects and it's important that the school fits the child who will be doing the actual attending.

Our admission consultants possess a wealth of information about the various private schools across the country, and can speak from their professional experience about the differences between these many institutions. We will help choose the private school that best matches the child as a human being, and not just as an applicant.
