The admissions process can be one of the most exciting yet stressful times for a family. In some ways, it is even more complex than college admissions by requiring standardized testing, shadow days, open houses, interviews, student essays, parent statements, and more.
Cardinal Education strives to make this process as smooth as possible for your family. With well over a decade of experience and an internationally-established reputation, we can guide you through all facets of the process from start to finish in a way that builds character and sets the foundation for future success.
Test Preparation
Test scores are one of the most important factors in the admissions process. We are the leading experts in test prep and view it as a fantastic opportunity to build character early in a student’s life.

Strategy Consulting
Every family is unique, yet many families do not have the expertise to understand how to best optimize their specific situation. Whether applying to local schools or boarding schools, families that develop a cohesive and unique strategy set themselves apart from the crowd.

Essay Assistance
Writing essays is both an art and a science, requiring both components to be successful. Just because an essay is well-written, does not mean it will resonate with admissions officers. It is important to understand what they are looking for.

Interview Preparation
Interviews are ever increasing in importance. They can be a liability or missed opportunity. Give admissions the chance to really know what makes your child so unique.
