Placements

For families looking for a new school, moving to an area where you are unfamiliar with the schools, or interested in the opportunities for growth a boarding community offers.

My work with families reflects perspective and knowledge of the current campus environment. I regularly visit day and boarding schools, which helps evaluate programs for what they really are and offer versus what you can find online.

For families looking for a more supportive environment than that which is found in traditional day and boarding schools.

Here, we collaborate and develop a plan to help your son or daughter actualize their potential. This can be a part of a thoughtfully conceived plan that will lead to a satisfactory end, albeit with a slightly different route. Placements range from shorter stabilization and evaluation to longer programs with both an academic and therapeutic focus.

For families looking to support a struggling young adult make the transition into independent living and/or college.

Many colleges do not provide sufficient structure or oversight, yet parents are not informed of their student’s struggle until it is too late and the student has been placed on academic or social probation and sometimes is asked to leave. While we expect our students to be ready for college, many are unprepared for this level of independence. They often lack the life skills to manage their time, their money or day to day living experience. With the new freedom that an independent environment affords, some students become distracted from their goals and resort to drinking or other forms of entertainment or isolation to avoid responsibility and disappointment.

For these students, a young adult transitional program can help them begin to understand that they are not alone. These programs provide the structure, accountability, and living skills needed to help them succeed. Some of the important elements for success include developing an active lifestyle, learning to create a budget, gaining self-motivation, and discovering the benefits of healthy friendships and sober living. We know the value of an education; however, some students need to approach college differently to regain their academic self-confidence. We can provide alternatives to help them reach their academic goals.
