There are countless boarding school, college, and career options, and each choice affects your child's future.

At Success Prep Partners, you will always have a partner along the way. Our mission is to help your student strengthen skills and develop their interests to create a foundation for academic, career, and life success.

Wherever your child is on their education journey, we can guide you and your student in making the most effective decisions. What differentiates Success Prep Partners is our unique and comprehensive approach.

Middle School

We start working with your student on critical skill-building (including vocabulary expansion and executive functioning skills such as time management and organization) and extracurricular support in middle school. Our customized research enables us to recommend activities and summer programs that best match your student’s strengths and interests.

We also provide social/emotional coaching, which is so important to stress management, peer relationships, and overall academic and life success.

For those students seeking a private day/boarding school experience, Success Prep Partners provides comprehensive help with the private secondary school application process, including the development of the school list, interview prep, and essay and application support. Our in-depth understanding of the different boarding school options enables us to help each student select schools that match their unique needs and interests.

These critical first steps in your student’s journey can help pave the way to a more successful high school, college, and career experience.

High School

Our work continues throughout high school with support focused on recommendations for course selection, extracurricular activities, community service projects, summer programs, test prep, and general help and advice across all academic subjects.

Unlike other college consulting firms who typically start the bulk of their work with students during junior year, we believe that educating our students and their families as early as 9th grade about what colleges look for is a game-changer.

During the college application process, we guide our students and give them the tools so they learn how to research schools and programs that match their skills and interests. We believe our role in the process is to empower students to be in the driver’s seat of their college journey. Many students begin with us having no idea what they want their college experience to look like. Under our guidance, students develop a better understanding of the majors/minors/programs which excite them and the schools that will provide them with the best environment in which to thrive.
