Prep School Students
Standardized Test and Essay Guidance
Applying to secondary school is no longer a simple process. Top prep schools require applications similar to what students submit to college. We are thrilled to bring you two amazing tutors to help you in the process. Mike Barrett will guide you in your SSAT testing and our essay specialist Josh Stephens will help you deliver focused, concise, memorable essays.
SSAT Tutoring

Gaining entry into selective private schools is more and more difficult every year. For many students, the SSAT is by far the most daunting part of the process; approached in the wrong way, it can become the basis for a lifelong fear of standardized testing.
Secondary School Application Essays

The nation’s top prep schools are searching for students with promise,
curiosity, and ideas waiting to spring forth. They are also looking for students who are genuine, empathetic, and awareness of the world around them. With the right essay, students can provide compelling glimpses into their character, intellect, and academic promise.
