Frequently Asked Questions
What ages and grades do you support?
We work with families preparing for kindergarten (age 4) through high school, providing guidance for school searches, admissions applications, and the college process.
Does Journeys Educational Advising only work with families in the San Francisco Bay Area?
No. While some of our families are local to the East Bay (e.g., Oakland, Orinda, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville), we also leverage our national and international experience to support families through the private school and college admissions processes.
How do you personalize the advising process?
Your child is unique. We begin with a conversation to understand your family’s goals, your child’s strengths and areas for growth, then create a plan to help your family navigate the process with confidence. We will not let you forget about the goals you established for your child as you complete school applications.
Do you provide essay and interview support?
Yes. Some packages offer support with essays, parent statements, and interviews, allowing candidates to present themselves authentically and confidently.
Do you work with families who are relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area?
We do. Whether this is your family’s first time living in the San Francisco Bay Area or your family is returning after an extended time, we’re happy to assist your family in finding a school that suits your family’s goals.
