We support families, schools and companies throughout New York City and abroad!
Parents
Advisors work with students from nursery school through college, including special education and relocating families. As the leading admissions consulting group in its city, SCK collaborates closely with its clientele to reduce the stress of the admissions experience and to empower learners and their families with agency during the process of selecting a right fit educational program.
Our corporate and institutional advisory group provides guidance for all areas of school operations – admissions, exmissions, rebranding, marketing, strategic planning, communications, development, hiring and leadership transitions, and curricular initiatives. SCK remains engaged with school partners for as long as necessary, offering regular accessibility for school leadership and stakeholders. SCK works diligently to thoroughly understand all aspects of each organization, and designs a collaborative process toward the achievement of institutional goals.

Schools
Perhaps our most significant external project this season involved working with the Mandell School in the placement across 110 private schools of the more than 150 families in grades 1 through 9 affected by the ongoing school’s closing. We met on a regular basis with the administration, reviewing records and conducting onsite observations to facilitate our advocacy with ongoing schools on behalf of a wonderful community of students and their parents.

This season, as in other years, we provided workshops for a range of corporate entities, like Goldman Sachs, Skadden Arps, JP Morgan Chase, and PIMCO, as well as a variety of schools and child care centers around the city, including JCP, York Avenue Preschool, Brooklyn Schoolhouse, Village Preschool Center, TriBeCa Community School, United Nations Child Care Center and Columbia University Family Services.

This results report is primarily being issued to those families we were privileged and honored to support full time throughout this admission season. We hope others will benefit from these insights into our company’s process and the overall admissions climate.
