Help with the written half of the application: the parent statement, and the questionnaires your child answers for each school.
Speak with UsTranscripts and recommendations are set by the time you apply. The writing is the part you can still work on.
Schools ask parents to write 500 to 1,000 words about their own child. We start by asking you questions: what your child is like at home, what changed for them this year, what they find hard. You write from there, and we edit the draft with you.
Most schools ask your child a set of short questions instead of one long essay. We go through each question with them, find the specific story behind their first answer, and work on the writing until it is clear and sounds like them.
Every school writes its own questions. Applying to three means three separate sets. We map the questions side by side, work out where the same material can be reused and where a school is asking for something different, and sequence the writing across the fall.
We build a schedule backward from each school's due date, covering the questionnaire, the parent statement, testing dates, and recommendation requests. You get a running list of what is done and what is still outstanding.
We start by talking. What they care about, what they are like at home, and what they have actually done.
Your child drafts between sessions. We read and comment in writing, then work through the changes together.
Final edits on every piece, a read of the whole application together, and a deadline plan we track through submission.
Most independent schools close applications between late December and early January, with supporting materials due shortly after. That puts the writing squarely in the fall, alongside a full school term and whatever else your child already has on.
