Our Philosophy

We know the ins and outs of highly selective admissions. Our process is deeply consultative with every step tailored for your child. That’s why, for the critical junior and senior years, we offer three exclusive programs, each designed for a different level of access, personalization, and orchestration. 

These programs represent the highest level of support we provide, reserved for families who want absolute clarity and confidence in the admissions process.

Core Program

Our Core Consulting Program provides streamlined support focused on the most essential parts of the school selection and college application process, helping families cut through the noise, stay focused, and make informed, confident decisions without unnecessary stress. This program delivers a year of intensive support, tailored to your child’s strengths and goals.

Core Consulting - Junior & Senior Year

  • Full document, task, and deadline management

The early years of high school are critical for laying the foundation. Our Onboarding and Assessment Program ensures students are building the academic, extracurricular, and personal trajectory to thrive in the admissions process later on. Early planning prevents missed opportunities later.
