How can a private admissions consultant help my child develop a compelling extracurricular portfolio that aligns with the top private schools in Washington, D.C.?

Private schools in Washington, D.C. are looking for students who aren’t just book smart, but who really care about making a difference. This is where admissions consultants like Cardinal Education come in. We start by getting to know your child deeply, figuring out what truly sparks their interest, and then connecting those passions to the core values of the schools they’re applying to. Think social justice, environmental work, global awareness, climate change, etc. It’s not about inventing stuff or pretending to be concerned with those things. It’s about showing how your child’s natural interests already align with what the school believes in. They, we’ll help turn those interests into a story. For example, “How did that volunteer work change their perspective?” or “What did they learn being a leader at a particular club?” We’ll help your student show, not just tell, how they’ve grown. And of course, we’ll help present it in a awy that really clicks with admissions officers, making sure the application isn’t just good, but truly memorable.
