CEO and founder of Cardinal Education, Mr. Allen Koh is a Stanford alumnus who began his mission to guide students to academic success nearly 20 years ago. With our honest, holistic, and discrete approach to the admissions process, we have earned the trust of the families who have partnered with us and have expanded from the local Bay Area business we began as, into the internationally recognized consulting firm that we are today. We have helped families from all over the world like Ghana, Russia, Egypt, Indonesia, Singapore, China, UAE, India, Brazil, Oman, Nigeria, South Korea, and the UK get accepted into some of the top private boarding schools including Phillips Exeter Academy, Phillips Academy Andover, Woodside Priory, Milton Academy, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield Academy, among others.

Interviews are a great part of the admissions process. We can help both parents and students with this important event.

Good test scores will differentiate you from the other applicants and give you leverage in admission.
