After 30 years in education, the last 25 spent in independent schools as a middle and upper school classroom teacher, class dean, and varsity coach, as well as middle and upper school division head, Karl has joined the world of consulting to help families navigate the complexities of finding the right fit and gaining admission to day schools in the Fairfield and Westchester areas and boarding schools throughout New England. Karl brings a unique perspective to the process as someone who sat on numerous admissions committees as well as being the parent of four children, all of whom attended or are attending independent day and boarding schools.
This service includes family conference(s) leading to a list of appropriate schools, preparation and support through the entire school visit and interview process, support during the application and selection process, as well as connecting with a school’s admissions office on behalf of the student.
This service focuses on providing a personalized list of schools. This option allows us to help you identify the best-fit schools for your child but assumes you will undertake the application process on your own.
Full Service for Boarding Schools is also available. Click the link below for details.
Hourly Option for a minimum of 4 hours for those who do not need a list of schools (because you already have your complete list) and do not wish for us to speak with admissions on your child’s behalf. This works well for those who are looking for a la carte service such as interview preparation, school visit/shadow day preparation, essay work, parent statement assistance, or general help with the process.
