XII.  Our Fees

Our fees reflect our acceptance rate (of 97% or higher) and the value of our admissions success.

When people call us and are simply shopping for a cheap price, we remind them of the adage: "You get what you pay for!"  Cheap prices mean less experience, less involvement with clients and higher rejection and waitlist rates.

Top U.S. day and private schools are selective and reject applicants each year.  Our fees are simply a choice whether you, as a parent, wish to have your child rejected or not.

V.  EDUCATIONAL SERVICES - INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES

Many international families work with their local agents in their country only to discover that these agents lack the experience and knowledge to place their children in top American private day or boarding schools.  These agents have contractural relationships with limited schools.  The result: children are unhappy and do not receive the best education when placed in third and fourth rate schools.  From time to time, we even receive inquiries from families who wish that their child transfer from an incorrect or inappropriate placement.  Why take the chance and waste time and money placing your child in the wrong school?  Or worse, a low-tier school? As an international parent, we know you want your child to be accepted to a top U.S. private school and nothing less!
