Holderness School Admissions Consulting

Cardinal Education was established nearly two decades ago by Mr. Allen Koh after he graduated from Stanford University. His mission has always been to help as many students as possible reach their full academic potential, and in doing so, we adopted a very honest, holistic, and discrete approach to the admissions process. Families have come to trust and appreciate us for our support and guidance, and because of this, we have been able to expand our reach to an international level. We have helped families who are from Ghana, Russia, Egypt, Indonesia, Singapore, China, UAE, India, Brazil, Oman, Nigeria, South Korea, the UK, and other countries get accepted into some of the nation’s best boarding schools including Phillips Exeter Academy, Phillips Academy Andover, Woodside Priory, Milton Academy, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield Academy, among others.
