Services

At Hyslop College and School Planning Services, I work closely with students and families to navigate the boarding school and college admissions process with clarity and confidence. With more than 30 years of experience in independent school education and admissions, I provide thoughtful, individualized guidance designed to help each student find schools where they will truly thrive.

This is not a one-size-fits-all process. Every student brings unique interests, strengths, and goals, and my work is centered on helping them discover the educational environments where they can grow, challenge themselves, and succeed.

1. Initial Conversation

We begin with a conversation to learn more about your student, your goals, and where you are in the process.

2. Personalized Plan

If we decide to work together, I develop a plan tailored to your student’s needs—whether that means full support throughout the process or targeted guidance in specific areas.

3. Ongoing Guidance

I work closely with students as they explore schools, develop applications, write essays, and prepare for interviews, ensuring they feel confident and organized every step of the way.
