Clare Anderson Consulting 2025

Clare Anderson Consulting, LLC offers educational advisory, course planning, and boarding school and college prep consulting for students ranging from elementary through high school graduates.

Educational Advisory

This option provides short-term advisory support for families who desire assistance with educational planning for their child. I ask to meet with your child individually and review all relevant educational documents so that I can properly assess your son’s or daughter’s needs. My goal is to get to know your child with a focus on his or her personality, affinities, and learning style. After this informal assessment and separate parent meeting, I will discuss preliminary school recommendations, including information about schools of interest and the admissions process. This option includes limited communications to refine your child’s school list and answer questions about next steps in the admissions process. Once the school list is finalized, the advisory is concluded. Families in need of additional support may choose to move to the comprehensive day or boarding school service.

Comprehensive Day School

This comprehensive option provides families with personalized assistance with the independent day school search and decision-making process. I will tailor my approach to meet a particular family’s needs and develop an individualized action plan to guide you throughout the admissions process–initial campus visits to final decisions.

Comprehensive Boarding School

This option is for families interested in evaluating boarding school for their child. This comprehensive package includes the specific steps outlined in the comprehensive day service, as well as assistance with school visit schedules and support for student and parent essays. My role is both as advisor and facilitator for your child with an emphasis on the self-reflective process required of students who choose to apply to boarding schools. I remain a resource for you and your child once your son or daughter transitions to boarding school for the first year.
