Personalized Guidance for School Placement, Admissions & Educational Success

From nursery school to college—our expert consultants help families make confident school decisions, advocate for their students, and navigate the path ahead with clarity and care.

Choose Your Path

At Evolved Education Company, we know that no two students are the same. That’s why we look beyond test scores and transcripts—considering emotional, academic, and environmental factors—to help families find the right-fit school and set their children up for lasting success.

Whether you’re facing an unexpected school change, entering the K–college admissions process, or seeking ways to help your child thrive where they are, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

We need to find a new school—now.

Your current school isn’t working anymore. Whether due to a recent incident, academic struggles, or emotional needs, we help you make a confident next move—even mid-year.

We’re applying to school and want to get it right.

Nursery, elementary, middle school, high school, or college—we guide your family through the entire admissions journey, from school list building to application prep.

We want our child to thrive where they are.

If something feels off but you’re not sure if a new school is the answer, we’ll help you better understand your child and support them in their current environment.

"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. This isn’t just picking schools based on prestige, but finding the schools with the right settings, programs, and activities that will ensure your child thrives.

We guide families through:

  • Emergency or mid-year school transfers

  • Transitions between school levels (kindergarten, middle school, high school, and college)

  • Evaluating academic, social, and emotional alignment
