What our families are saying…

“As our son John prepared to graduate, the daunting task of choosing the right high school was ahead. Our daughters chose the same boarding school in CT based on academics and the community as a whole. John’s goals although similar added the element of his sport, basketball. We leaned heavily on Joe Perry throughout this process. His knowledge, contacts, feedback on all the schools helped us narrow the list with John applying to 4 great boarding schools. His top choice, Northfield Mount Hermon School , we all agreed was a reach both academically and for his sport. With Joe’s help he was accepted to all 4, John chose NMH and after his first year he couldn’t be happier!”

“We appreciated Joe's expert counseling and savvy advice during our search for Hannah's right fit school. Our concerns about the entire process -academic, financial and social- were demystified by Joe's deep knowledge and experience. He made it all less stressful and we ended up with great options. Hannah has thrived and excelled at her school and it all started with Perry Education Group. Thank you, Joe!”

“As part of the process, Joe took the time to understand our child’s capabilities ,interest and where he would have the best opportunity to excel at the next level and find the appropriate fit. Joe was great to work with . We could not have been more pleased with the outcome.”

 - Hugh and Pam - Cohasset, MA

“We worked closely with Joe on two separate occasions. In both instances his knowledge and insight were invaluable. He guided us through a process which was very different for each of our boys. He was able to tailor his approach and process to our needs each time. Both boys landed at the best school for their personalities. We highly recommend using Joe to help guide your educational choices.”

— Joe and Sara | Hingham, MA

“The secondary school placement process can be overwhelming and involved. There are a number of considerations when determining the right fit and Joe’s perspective of that landscape proved invaluable. His process was thorough and thoughtful, it took the stress out of applying and it gave us the confidence that we were looking at the right group of schools for our son to be happy and successful. We had a great outcome and arrived there with Joe’s unwavering enthusiasm and support.”

— Alexis | Hingham, MA

"Huge thank you to Joe for being such a tremendous resource throughout the admissions process. Not only did he take the time to understand each person in our family and help us identify the exact right school to meet all of our needs, he was also a huge support and sounding board throughout the application process itself. Joe also ensured our children were prepared for interviews, providing useful and actionable feedback to build their confidence and readiness. We are thrilled with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend Joe to anyone considering an independent school shift."

— Carrie | Rye, NY

My husband and I recently worked with Joe to help our son identify and gain admission to boarding school. We had gone through the process previously without any help and were not able to find the right fit. Joe was excellent at helping us to understand potential schools based on our son’s long-term goals, academic and extracurricular interests and personality. Joe is extremely knowledgeable with the private school admission process and the unique nuances of the admission departments of many of the schools. We are thrilled that our son was admitted to his top 3 schools! We look forward to him flourishing in an environment that matches who he is as a person, and we would never have found that school without Joe. Joe is enthusiastic and enjoyable to work with and we highly recommend using him to help guide you through what can be an overwhelming process.
