people collaborating

Evolved Education represents a new kind of school placement, tutoring and guidance company. We are for parents who want the best education for our children as well as the fullest life.

Our goal: to position each child we work with to learn well — so they can then go on to live well.

We realize our philosophy through a robust menu of resources and services, delivered by a deep bench of credentialed, experienced, approachable professionals. And since educating a child means enlisting the whole family, we open our doors and welcome in every member of a child’s world.

No matter how great or minimal your need — whether you’re looking for an entire support system, a quick check-in or something in between — we have the staff, the experience and the know-how to resolve your questions and help your child get the most from these early years.

We are Evolved Education. And we can’t wait to work with you.

A Message From Mary
We are committed to the idea that an earned reward is twice as gratifying as one that is foregone. That hard work exerted in the overcoming of obstacles will equip a student for higher education and a richer life. That information is acquired from the world but integrity is built from within. That wonder and imagination should stand alongside rigor and achievement as pillars of a child’s upbringing. And that the education of a single student is a group project requiring a circle of devoted adults.

Evolved Education undertakes its placement, tutoring and guidance efforts with the well-being of the whole child in mind, supported by our team of experienced education experts.
