School Placement & Application Consulting at Evolved Education Company

From nursery school to college—our expert consultants provide thoughtful guidance for educational decisions at every stage.

Find the right school. Navigate admissions with confidence.

School placement and application decisions shape more than where a student goes to school. They influence how a child learns, how confident they feel, and how prepared they are for what comes next.

At Evolved, school placement and application consulting helps families make informed, intentional decisions — grounded in a deep understanding of their child and the educational landscape. We work with families across all ages, offering clarity and perspective during moments that often feel overwhelming or high-stakes.

"Working with Mary and the team at Evolved Education was one of the best decisions I’ve made regarding my children’s education. The NYC school landscape is unlike anywhere else in the world so, when it came time for me to find the ideal school for my kids, I took the recommendations of all the other families I had spoken with and contacted Mary immediately. She is the go-to person to help families make the right school choice and manage the school application process. I couldn’t imagine going through the NYC school application process without Mary and the team!" –Bethany T.

School Placement That’s Truly Personalized

When it’s time to find a new school—whether planned or unexpected—our consultants take a holistic, research-backed approach to help you identify the best educational environment for your child.
