We are trusted admissions consultants who specialize in Phillips Academy admissions.

Phillips Academy admissions can be life-changing. Whether you’re applying to Phillips Academy Andover or Phillips Exeter Academy, the admissions process can be very competitive. Regarded as two of the best boarding schools in the country, many students try to gain admission every year, and very few succeed. Phillips Exeter is known for its academic rigor, and Phillips Andover is sought after by students who are more athletically inclined. Cardinal Education can help you navigate the admissions process for either schools. We work with families across six continents to reduce stress, provide unique strategies, share expert admissions insights, and deliver results. We value your privacy and confidentially as we work with you on all aspects of the admissions process. You can rely on us to be your honest and hard-working allies to support you in this process. As we are unaffiliated independent educational consultants, we are able to offer unbiased advice. Learn more about what it takes to attend Phillips Academy!
