PK-12 School Placement Consulting
FINDING THE RIGHT SCHOOL CHANGES EVERYTHING.
My Approach to School Placement
I don’t just help families find schools — I support them through one of the most personal decisions they’ll make for their child.
A child’s educational environment touches every part of who they are — their identity, their rhythm, their sense of belonging. My role is to help families find the spaces where those elements come into harmony.
My consulting and coaching live on the same spectrum: both are about alignment — between child and environment, purpose and path, energy and action. Families often come to me for the logistics, but my hope is that they leave with something deeper — a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence that brings genuine ease to the transition.
My commitment is to serve as a compass — practical in direction, intuitive in calibration — helping families move forward with trust, insight, and grace.
Areas of Practice
-
As an independent educational consultant, I help you find schools that align with your child's learning style, personality, and needs — from PK through 12th grade. Whether you're exploring public, private day school, independent, or international school options, I provide personalized research and school placement guidance through every step of the decision-making process.
-
Not every school change happens on a predictable timeline. Whether you're navigating a mid-year school transfer, an unexpected relocation, or a shift driven by fit or circumstance, I help you find the right school and move forward with clarity — even when the timing is complex. I support transitions across domestic and international settings, and I work with families in English, French, and Spanish.
-
From gathering documentation to preparing for school interviews, I support you through the practical side of private school and independent school admissions. I help you understand each school's expectations and culture, present your child authentically, and manage timelines so the application process feels organized rather than overwhelming.
-
I partner with relocation management companies, destination service providers, and corporate HR teams to deliver school placement consulting within global mobility and corporate relocation programs. Available as an independent contractor, I provide high-touch support that helps relocating employees and their families navigate unfamiliar school landscapes with confidence.
-
Finding the right school for a child with learning differences, developmental needs, or other specialized requirements takes particular care and expertise. I help you identify schools with the programs, support structures, and culture to meet your child's needs — whether that means specialized settings, inclusive classrooms, or schools with strong intervention teams.
-
Sometimes you need targeted research on a specific question — a particular private school, a specialized program, or the educational landscape in a new city or country. As an experienced PK–12 school placement consultant, I offer focused, independent research tailored to your situation, delivered with the depth and care of a full consulting engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I offer preschool through 12th grade school searches across public, private, independent, charter, boarding, and international schools. Each search is tailored to the family's needs, values, and circumstances. I practice within the guidelines of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, and if a request falls outside my area of expertise, I will connect you with a trusted professional who can help.
-
Every engagement begins with a comprehensive questionnaire followed by an in-depth consultation to discuss your family's situation, goals, timeline, and most importantly, your child. From there, the scope of our work together depends on what you need — from a focused school list to full support through the admissions cycle. Throughout the process, I am on hand for guidance, support, and advocacy at every step.

It varies widely depending on the family's needs and timeline. A focused search or relocation case may take one to three months.

Client Experiences
Working with Corinne has been an incredible experience. She went above and beyond to make this entire process smooth and effortless for us. She was always ten steps ahead, thinking through details we would never have known to anticipate and taking on the heavy lifting so we could focus on everything else happening in our lives. Her foresight and guidance brought so much clarity, and having her support gave us a level of comfort we deeply needed during a stressful transition. She carried the burden of the process with such ease and professionalism that we were able to move forward with confidence instead of overwhelm. We are truly grateful for everything she did for our family, and we cannot recommend her enough.
Our move from abroad and the transition into a new educational system came with many complexities, and Corinne took the time to truly understand my daughter’s needs. She explored every possible option with us — both public and private — to ensure she landed in the right place. My daughter took an active role in the search, and Corinne stayed in tune with her hopes and priorities at every step, honoring what mattered most to her. We are so grateful for the thoughtful research and guidance that led us to this school. My daughter told me this is the happiest she has been since elementary school, and that says so much. We are truly thankful.
Our case was anything but simple, with so many moving parts and special circumstances, yet Corinne navigated every twist and turn with such kindness, patience, and grace. Thanks to her support and guidance, our family found a wonderful school for my daughter—and even more exciting, she auditioned for and was accepted into a music program through a contact Corinne provided. This opportunity became the highlight of our time in the city. My daughter is thriving, and the chance to grow in this way has been a dream come true for her. None of this would have been possible without Corinne’s help, and we remain beyond grateful.
