Our Method

Three Words You'll Hear From Us, Again and Again

Every service we provide moves through the same three phases. It’s true whether a family comes to us for a nursery application, a college list, tutoring, test prep, or executive functioning coaching.

01

Assessment.

You tell us where your child is today. Using our Whole Child Paradigm, we look at your child’s academic, social, emotional, physical and life-skills development, along with your family’s context and the real challenge. 

02

Strategy.

We identify the right starting point and recommend a customized scope of work: the plan that fits this child, this family, this season.

03

Implementation.

We put the plan in motion and stay alongside your family as things evolve.

Our methods are published across 22 books, so every consultant works from the same playbook. Every plan starts with an educator’s assessment of the whole child.
