Do you need help with private school admission essays or preparing for student or parent interviews? Our admissions consultants will help you plan content and talking points to include in essays and interviews, provide feedback on essay drafts, and coach you through mock interviews.

Our admissions consultants will provide limited guidance on financial aid. We’ll provide insight into the most common methods for applying for financial aid and give you guidance on questions to ask the schools.
