K-12 School Selection & Admissions
Finding a school for your child is one of the most important parenting decisions you'll make.
Your child’s school is their home away from home. Many of their waking hours will be spent at school, in school activities, or with school community members. Be confident that you are identifying best fit schools, thoughtfully presenting your child and family through the application process, and determining the best school for your child and your family!
We are fortunate in the Seattle area to have such a broad range of school options! This richness of choice is a gift but can also make the decision of selecting a school extremely overwhelming. Thrive can guide you through the school research, selection, admissions, and preparation process. Working with Thrive, you can be confident that you'll select a school that aligns with your family's priorities and values and which serves your child's learning needs and goals.
Prepare your child to thrive in school and beyond!
"Jenell was incredible to work with. She immediately took the stress out of the high school application writing process between the parent and child. Our son shared “Jenell is so knowledgeable and confident in her writing and editing skills, it helped me so much. It’s clear she has done this many times before!”
