A higher education is one of the biggest financial investments a family will make. Act One clients experience highly individualized attention and access to the consultant outside traditional school hours. Tremendous thought and analysis go into each student’s trajectory—both as an applicant and lifelong learner. Some students need a gentle nudge, and others more guidance. We work together to develop transferable skills that build optimal school placement, academic success, and confidence. This investment in your talent and future opportunities extends into the classroom, a student’s self-awareness, values, and even time management. In other words, our work together will help you well beyond the application journey!

HOLISTIC AND COMPREHENSIVE INDEPENDENT EDUCATION CONSULTING works well for families who want complete support in developing an optimal positioning, timeline, and communication strategy for the college application process, and for those applying to arts programs. We begin as early as eighth grade and student, families, and counselor work together to develop a comprehensive plan that includes best-fit schools, essay brainstorming/edits, admissions interview strategies, and much more including wellness tips.
