A boarding school education is a truly different learning experience. It offers exceptional athletic, creative, and social opportunities, and a rich balance of tradition and innovation.
At Sesameed, we are lifelong believers in the transformative power of boarding school education. We’re eager to help your child find their best-fit boarding school —and to help them cultivate the skills they need to present a strong application, get accepted, and thrive at boarding school.
A boarding school education is life-changing. It connects students to a vast network of resources as soon as they set foot on campus. Teachers, dorm parents, athletic coaches, and advisors are all dedicated to your child’s success. The facilities— classrooms, libraries, learning labs, science centers, maker spaces, art studios, and athletic complexes—are unmatched … and often exceed those of universities. And the alumni network, connected across the wider world, brings friendships and relationships that benefits students for their entire lives.
While the application requirements tend to be straightforward and fairly standard across schools, this is where their similarities end. Every boarding school is a unique community and looks for slightly different qualities from its incoming members, and you will soon hear stories from friends where their child was admitted by one school but denied by another seemingly “same-level” school.
Boarding school admissions processes are hyper-competitive, with high stakes for both the child and the parents. It pays to have a good consultant around to advise you every step of the way. What is good? Professional and trustworthy: professional in the sense that they know their stuff; trustworthy in the sense that they truly care about the future of your child.
In addition to knowing the application process well, a good admissions consultant should understand what to focus on for each school. A good consultant should know the schools of interest and the parents they’re working with equally well; the school provides the fit, and the parents set the path. A good consultant should know the child well to equip him/her for success, and the consultant should know admissions offices equally well.
The boarding school world is a very niche field, and it’s not easy to find a good consultant. There are simply not that many experienced players in the world. We would certainly like to see ourselves as one of the more capable ones, and we would love to help you.
