PLAN • GUIDE • ACHIEVE
Our goal is to eliminate anxiety and help students meet their full potential while building confidence and self-esteem.
SEA advisors are approachable and nurturing. We maintain a low consultant-to-family ratio to ensure personalized attention for every client. We’re here for students (and their families) every step of the way.
Educational Consulting for Every Type of Student
We partner with families to provide guidance and clarity on all aspects of the educational process. By helping students develop a deeper understanding of self, we can mentor them as they explore appropriate school choices. Whether assisting students explore private day and boarding schools or supporting high schoolers as they develop unique academic and extracurricular profiles, we assist each one in finding an environment where they can thrive. We also support students interested in exploring gap year options, transfer opportunities, and graduate school admissions.
For students experiencing academic and/or emotional challenges, we collaborate with families, school systems, therapists, and therapeutic programs to identify appropriate placement to optimize academic and social-emotional potential.
We have placed over 5,000 students since 1977, and counting.
After just one conversation, you’ll feel more in control of your education, your future and your life.
