Boarding School Admission

We know boarding school.

Sesameed’s personalized boarding school admission counseling program is the industry’s most comprehensive — and the most personalized.

  • We guide families in every step: from a discussion of needs and goals to multi-year education planning,  school fit, profile building, school selection, application support, interview training, and essay coaching.
  • We support families from the very first moment they consider boarding school, all the way through application and attendance.
  • We’re honored by the many families that choose to engage Sesameed for support in the university admissions process as well.
  • We get results. Our students are regularly admitted at the most respected boarding schools in the United States (see below).

Sesameed helps connect students with their best fit schools, through a comprehensive array of Seminars, School Visits, and personalized counseling services. Many families also choose to round out their coaching experience with our renowned campus tour service.

It’s no secret that boarding schools are a powerful step towards a successful future. At Sesameed, our experience helps open doors!

We work with students and families all over the world. Contact us today to book an appointment. We look forward to meeting you!

Interview Training

interviews are a critical element in every school's admission process. We help students prepare for successful interviews —and we coach families on how they can use the interview process to identity the very best school for their children.

Essay Coaching

Essays are an essential part of every boarding school application — and they can make or break an application. We coach students in understanding the goal of admissions essays, how they can stand out, and how to build the strongest possible essay that is still authentically their own.

Campus Tour Service

We lead campus tours with a deeper purpose. We help families decipher the nuances and subtle differences between the boarding schools. Since many campus tours include interviews, these visits can be intense — which is why we enjoy being there with you as a resource and coach.

Life Coaching

Once your child is enrolled, a coach and mentor can help them make the most of their journey at boarding school. Boarding schools provide advisors, but — especially for international students — an additional mentor can provide key guidance for success in boarding school, university applications, and life skills.

Ongoing Monitoring & Advisory Service

This is often used as a pre-application service where parents are already inclined to prepare their child for boarding school when they are still a few years away from applying. Under this service, we will be monitoring your child along the way in four key developmental areas: academic, extracurricular, social, and personal, and providing ongoing advice to ensure the best possible preparation for your child’s eventual boarding school application.

Summer School Search & Application

Residential summer programs are excellent ways to test whether your child will like boarding school. There is a summer school for every child’s interest. Spare your research time and efforts, and use our search service to plan for a purpose-led, enjoyable summer experience for your child.
