Back to school is an exciting time for so many students and families, and each year it gives us a reason to celebrate the incredible students and families we work with!
From nursery through 12th grade and beyond into college, our students are extraordinary examples of why we are so passionate about the work we do. No matter what stage of education your child is in, School First’s consultants come prepared with a depth of knowledge and experience in their areas of expertise to help them confidently maneuver new transitions and explore new opportunities.
Because every stage of a student’s journey brings its own milestones and challenges, our consulting approach is designed to grow alongside your child. Below, you’ll find an overview of how our services adapt from preschool through college and an introduction to our experts who guide families through each step with care and expertise.
Preschool Through Elementary Consulting
At this stage, we focus on truly understanding your child as a learner. We begin with an in-depth family interview and a playdate or student interview to get a well-rounded picture of their strengths, needs, and personality. From there, we curate a list of schools that align with both your child’s learning style and your family’s priorities, guiding you step by step through the admission and enrollment process.
Middle School Consulting
As your child enters middle school, friendships and social connections become increasingly important to their growth. Our goal is to help your family find a school community that offers the right balance of academics, extracurricular opportunities, and social life that aligns with your child’s strengths, values, and interests.
High School Consulting
During the high school years, your child’s voice becomes essential in the admissions process. As they begin to explore their interests, learning styles, and values, we draw on our deep experience with teens to support and guide them. Together, we help them navigate applications in a way that highlights their strengths and ensures they find a school community where they can truly thrive over the next four years.
Boarding School Consulting
Boarding schools provide a distinctive educational experience that fosters independence, social growth, and connection within a diverse, supportive community. With their structured environment and rich opportunities for personal development, boarding schools not only shape well-rounded students but also help them build strong foundations for future college success.
College Consulting
Starting in the early years of high school, we work with students to plan their experiences in ways that are authentic to them. By helping them explore their interests, reflect on their growth, and learn how to share their story, we prepare them to approach the college application process with confidence and clarity so they are ready to find the university that’s the perfect fit. Stay tuned for more details on our college consulting process coming soon!
