The Educational Avenues methodology provides for insuring that a student finds a boarding or private school choice that fits their academic, social and emotional needs. Most importantly the process brings to light the student’s passions which we reflect in this process and the development of a truly customized boarding school list.

The Boarding/Private Schools List

 

The boarding/private school list is an extremely important outcome resulting from our consulting sessions and the application of the Educational Avenues Process™  .These sessions and the process encompass student/family expectations, academic review/fit, personality and career preferences as well as social, athletic or additional extra-curricular requirements. The development of the school list reflects the integration of all these inputs and offers the family a range of boarding/private schools for consideration that are especially chosen for the student.

 

We work closely with admissions and school administration personnel in most of the boarding or private schools we recommend. As a result, we stay very much attuned to the school and its student milieu. In so doing we can work very closely with our families to make sure that our list reflects the schools whose environment will best suited for the child entering into a boarding or private school setting.
