In short, this has been a terrific decision to work with you, and I cannot imagine going through this process without you. To say that you have a wealth of information regarding boarding schools would be an understatement. Boarding schools are literally part of your family’s fiber, and it is such an asset to be able to work with you.
We are based abroad, and the idea of sending our son to school in the States seemed like a faraway dream until we contacted College Goals.
You quickly connected with our son in a way that any kid would consider “cool.” That single, first conversation set the entire tone for our son’s approach to boarding school. Your ability to understand his issues, feelings and hopes was what made your recommendations so meaningful. Boarding school has changed the trajectory of our son’s life.
