Boarding Schools

Most families apply to private schools on their own and do just fine.  With that said, School First is unique as each of our consultants have led the admission offices in private schools and know the ins and outs of decision making and how to build a mission matched class.  With this knowledge, we streamline the process, build an excellent school list for your student, support you in sharing about your family in the best way possible, advocate on your behalf  and then celebrate as your student(s) enrolls in the school where they will thrive! 

Within one year of the admission decisions, release time.  Some schools offer spring tours for their next admission cycle.  Of course, the earlier, the better, as it will help us get to know your family deeply,  will slow the pace of the process and can help make this process a little more fun.  With that said, our consultants are experts in this process and will help you find that right fit school when you need it most! 

Fit is at the heart of everything we do. We take time to understand each student and their family.   We start by truly knowing the child and their family.  We know that their brains and motivation are key factors but we also know their imaginations, creativity, humor, joy, passions are equally important.  We already know the schools, once we get to know you, we optimize your students strengths to find that fit! 

No and anyone who does should raise a red flag. What we can guarantee is that we will bring decades of experience in child development and admissions leadership so that every step we take together is in the best interest of your student.  With that said, we are proud to say that over 96% of our students enroll in one of their top two schools.
