Our Methodology
Rebecca serves as an independent consultant for families in the Greater Seattle area. After many conversations with friends looking for school options for their children, she realized a community void in information around education options for families. Rebecca works with parents and students to explore all of the available pathways to education; public, private, independent and charter. Through this exploration, she leads parents through a process to determine the right school fit for their family.

What Parents Are Saying
"Rebecca’s knowledge of education options was extremely helpful. When looking at all of the different styles for kindergarten, it can be overwhelming! We were set for a private kindergarten, but then needed to move. After learning about different styles of education (traditional, Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, etc.), we were able to pinpoint what school was best for our family in our new area." – Elementary Parent
"We didn't know where to look for middle school; the choices are overwhelming! Our daughter is thriving in her independent middle school thanks to Rebecca's guidance!" - Seattle Middle School Parent
"The independent school application process can be daunting. From the written applications to the interviews, Rebecca guided us on how to be our best selves and to not sweat the process. We are in the perfect mission-fit school for our child!" – Seattle Independent School Elementary Parent
"Rebecca has so much knowledge about the public and private schools in Seattle. Once I gave her the priorities for our family she was quickly able to help us focus on the schools that would be a good fit for us. It took a lot of the stress out of the admission tours because we saved a lot of time. She encouraged us to ask the schools questions that went one step further than our train of thought. We truly appreciated her insights and expertise on the education arena. We trusted her whole heartedly and will work with her again when our second child is ready for school tours this coming year" - Seattle Independent School Elementary Parent
"Rebecca helped us through every step of the process. She focused on matching our vision for our children's education with the right school. Then she guided us through the application process and showed us how to convey that alignment to the school through our essays and interviews. In the end our son was invited to our top choice school. He starts in the fall and we couldn't be more excited!" - Seattle Independent School Kindergarten Parent
"As a long time private school parent, we were unsure what we wanted for our daughter for high school. Rebecca was able to help us evaluate all of the options and make us aware of some schools that we didn't even know she would be able to be a part of. Our daughter is going into her junior year at a public school and is thriving!" - Bellevue Public High School Parent
