Frequently Asked Questions
-
I work with families exploring both public and private school options, including charter schools, magnet schools, religious schools and micro schools. My role is to help you understand the full landscape and identify the right fit for your child.
-
Yes. I support families navigating a wide range of learning profiles, including students with IEPs, 504 plans, and gifted and talented needs. I help identify school environments that align with your child’s strengths, provide the right level of support, and ensure their educational experience is both appropriate and enriching.
-
No consultant can guarantee placement. What I do provide is a clear, strategic approach, helping you make informed decisions, strengthen your applications, and navigate the process in a way that maximizes your options.
-
I offer a personalized, advisory approach tailored to each family. I begin by helping you understand your child’s unique learning profile, then guide you through every phase of the school selection process, from building a thoughtful school list to navigating applications and ultimately making a confident final decision.
-
The school landscape in Denver is complex and often difficult to navigate without context. I bring an insider perspective, strong relationships, and a strategic lens, helping you avoid common pitfalls and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
Just as importantly, some of the most meaningful aspects of a school (its culture, leadership, community, and day-to-day experience) can’t be fully understood online. I help families access and interpret those less visible factors so you can make a truly informed decision.
