Essay Development

Your child's essay is a crucial part of the day school, boarding school and college admissions process. It provides an excellent opportunity for them to highlight their unique attributes and tell their story.

Our experienced writing coaches will guide your child to craft an essay that stands out. Our process also helps reduce the angst that some students experience with this type of writing. So, if the thought of voice, stories, idioms, word counts, etc., is an issue for your child, let us help!

Interview Prep

For day school, boarding school and college applicants the admissions interview can be a source of anxiety. However, understanding the objective of this conversation can alleviate any apprehension. Simply put, the interview is all about helping the admissions team get to know the candidate to determine if the school is a good fit. On the flip side, it also provides the student with another valuable touchpoint to determine if they think the school is right for them. 

With this in mind, we believe that advance preparation is essential. We will coach your child in one-on-one sessions to build a toolbox of ideas and talking points that will help them present the best version of themselves.

Mentoring Services

As children move from childhood into the teen years, they benefit from the nurturing counsel of a seasoned mentor. We work with students as they advance through the middle and high school years to provide on-going and age-appropriate coaching with a focus on:

• Middle to high school transitions

• School transfers

• Executive functioning skills

• Self advocacy

• Character development

• Social and emotional support
