School and College Advising Program

Guides for the Journey

From School Moves to College Admissions

No other school offers what we do: a dedicated department to help families navigate both school transitions and college admissions. Whether you're moving to a new country or preparing for university, our School and College Advising Program provides expert guidance, thoughtful tools, and deep care for what matters most—helping your child thrive wherever they are, and wherever they’re going.

Support for School Transitions

For globally mobile families, changing schools can feel disorienting. We help restore clarity and continuity by:
  • Reviewing prior learning to support curriculum alignment
  • Advising on grade placement across systems (IB, IPC, American, British, et al)
  • Preparing your child for what to expect before walking into a new classroom
We act as your mentor—helping you navigate each transition with insight and calm, so your child doesn’t just adjust…they thrive.

Preparing for College Admissions

As students mature, they take the lead—and we walk beside them with expert support informed by Riverdale Country School’s college placement experience.
We help students:
  • Identify universities that match academic and personal goals
  • Plan courses and tests strategically
  • Draft and refine essays that reflect their authentic voice
  • Prepare for interviews and articulate their story with clarity
  • Stay organized with timelines, checklists, and feedback loops
We guide the process, but your child owns the story—each application reflects their values, voice, and vision.
