Question 1

When should we begin working with an Education Strategist?

Accepted Answer

There is no single right time. Some families begin years before a major transition, giving us time to design a thoughtful, long-term strategy. Others reach out when a specific decision is close at hand. Wherever you are, the first conversation is simply about understanding your child.

Question 2

What ages or grade levels do you support?

Accepted Answer

We partner with families from early academic planning through secondary school admissions and beyond, adapting our approach to the stage your child is in.

Question 3

How is this different from a traditional admissions consultant?

Accepted Answer

A traditional consultation often ends at the acceptance letter. An Education Strategy begins there — we remain a long-term partner across every season and decision that follows, not just a single application cycle.

Question 4

Do you work with families outside of Boston?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Independent Education Group is based in Boston, we partner with families locally and remotely, tailoring our approach to what works best for your family.

Question 5

Do you share client testimonials or case studies?

Accepted Answer

We don't publish testimonials, case studies, or identifying details about the families we serve. Every relationship with Independent Education Group is held in strict confidence, which we believe families considering this kind of partnership should expect as a baseline, not an exception.

Question 6

What does the first strategy session involve?

Accepted Answer

A conversation, not a commitment. We spend time understanding your child, your family's values, and what you're hoping for — with no obligation to continue afterward.
