Asian American families trust us to help them in the Brooks School admissions process.
Brooks School is a coeducational, college preparatory boarding school in North Andover, Massachusetts. It is known for its rigorous academic curriculum that is designed to prepare students for the challenging coursework they will face in college. Outside the classroom, there are many opportunities to participate in afternoon activities such as sports, arts, and extracurricular activities such as debates, student administration, and community service programs. Assuming a small population and a student-to-teacher ratio of 5:1, students receive much individual attention and support from their teachers.
Many families want to send their children to Brooks School because of the quality teaching, great location, and fun and engaging afternoon activities that allow students to explore and develop their skills. However, the more students who apply, the more competitive the admissions process becomes, which makes it more difficult, especially for Asian Americans, to gain admission. Our boarding school admissions consulting is a holistic process where we highlight the areas of strength and improve on the weaknesses. Our tutors target difficult subjects to improve grades and GPA through tutoring. Our academic coaches offer one-of-a-kind academic coaching to help improve executive function skills for a successful academic life. To help with essays and personal statements, we have writing tutors in our signature Program in Writing and Reading who help students build on comprehension and writing skills. In interview preparation, students engage in mock interviews to familiarize themselves with common questions and learn how to answer confidently. We also offer test prep, ACT practice tests, and SAT practice tests to improve standardized test scores. Let us support you in developing a standout application profile that meets all requirements:
