Selecting potential schools is exciting. It can also be confusing. Our School Selection Service provides analytical tools for thorough decision-making. The service includes:
Comprehensive, Initial Evaluation
Through extensive interviews, we will assess your student’s admissions profile from an academic, professional and personal perspective. This process allows us to gain a deep understanding of who your teen is and what they want to achieve.
